Prawns with Celery & Lychee
I've always hated celery for some reasons, I never touch them till I saw this recipe by Zurynee from KC. It gave me inspiration to cook this dish as it seems really interesting, & curiosity kills the cat as the saying goes, wanted to know what it tastes like. So I decided to give this a try. Good-derlicious it was! Think this is the only celery dish that I would eat. As mama's home does not have a blender & lilybuds, I got to modify this recipe. Here's the original recipe & my own modified version.
Original Recipe

400g medium grey prawns
1 clove garlic
