The glass noodles in this dish absorb the delicacy of the fresh shrimp and the garlic paste. This dish allows the sweetness of the prawns to come through, accentuated by the flavour of garlic and the oyster sauce.
Should the shells be removed before serving glass noodles with garlic prawns? Well, it is unnecessary. for steamed prawns with glass noodles, is best to choose large and plump prawns. The prawns do not need to be shelled, just cut off the big tip and feet in front of the head, deveined, and rinsed. The prawn shell has a distinct flavour of its own. The umami flavour of the shrimp shells will enhance the flavour of the prawn meat when steaming, making the prawn taste more delectable.
