- Heat the oil in a large pan or small wok. Add the shallot and spring onions and cook, stirring constantly, for about a minute.
- Add the prawns and cook, stirring constantly, until they just turn pink.
- Add the sauce mix and stir together for a couple of minutes.
- Push everything in the pan to one side and add the egg to the other side. Let it cook for a minute until it starts to set, then scramble it by mixing with the other ingredients.

Notes
- If you can't find tamarind paste use 1/2 tbsp vinegar and a few drops of Worcestershire sauce.
- If you wish to serve 2 increase the prawn quantity and add 2 eggs put keep the rest of the ingredients the same. Use 1 courgette (zucchini) per person.
