Sweet and Sour Prawns

Bonjour,

We had sweet and sour prawns for dinner with friends last weekend. What I can tell is this dish was really delish and yet so easy to prepare. Everyone may have their own sweet and sour sauce flavour but for me this one is the good one so far.

Simple and delicious, that's what important for me. For certain kind of food may need some efforts to prepare and it doesn't matter sometimes as long as the food really make someone happy and satisfied.
