Chinese Drunken Prawns are a classic Chinese dish that consists of large, juicy prawns simmered in Chinese wine and aromatics. The dish is named for the wine used in its preparation, which is often made from rice, wheat, or barley. The wine is added to the hot pan and then ignited, creating a dramatic burst of flame that cooks off some of the alcohol and adds to the flavor of the dish. The prawns are tender and juicy, and the broth is rich and flavorful. This is a perfect dish for seafood lovers or anyone who wants to experience the bold, complex flavors of Chinese cuisine.

1.	Clean the prawns and remove the head and shell, but keep the tail.
2.	Heat up the oil and sesame oil in a pan.

5.	Pour in Chinese wine and add salt and sugar.
6.	Cover the pan and let the prawns simmer for 1-2 minutes.
7.	Garnish with fresh cilantro and serve hot.
