For an extra touch of elegance, garnish the steamed prawns with finely chopped scallions and a drizzle of sesame oil before serving. If you don't have brandy on hand, you can substitute it with a dry sherry or rice wine. Be careful not to overcook the prawns, as they can become rubbery. They are done when they turn pink and opaque. Serve these steamed garlic prawns with steamed rice and a side of stir-fried vegetables for a complete and satisfying meal.
