Don't fry anything in sesame oil, it burns at a very low temperature - so just add a couple of drops at the end of the cooking time if you want the taste.

As stated above, de-vein them first, then marinate them in some fish sauce, light soy sauce and Shaoxing rice wine (and sesame oil, if you like) for about half an hour to an hour. This will ensure that, however you decide to cook them, they are fantastically tender. Whatever you do though, never overcook prawns!
