Cereal Prawns

by  burpappetit

Type: Asian Recipes
Serves 4

Ingredients:

• 15 large banana prawns, deveined and leave shells on
•  10 fresh curry leaves
• 1 packet of cereal prawn mix (available at Asian Grocer)
• 1 egg yolk
• 3 red bullet chillies, sliced thinly
• 50g unsalted butter
• Vegetable oil

Method: 

1. In a wok, heat up oil for deep-frying the prawns.  Once you dropped a bread crumb and it starts to sizzle, gently drop the prawns into the oil with curry leaves.  Deep fry the prawns until it’s about 80% cooked and the curry leaves crisp up.

2. Drain the prawns together with curry leaves and set aside.  Pour away most of the oil and leave just about 1 tbsp oil in the wok because it’s been flavoured with the prawn.

3. Melt the butter in the same wok.  Once the butter is melted, put in the egg yolk and stir into the butter quickly with your wok spatula.  When the egg yolk starts to solidify, quickly add in the cereal prawn mix, sliced chillies and the crisply fried curry leaves.  Mix well thoroughly and stir fry until fragrant.

4. Add the prawns back into the cereal mixture and stir fry to coat the prawns evenly.  Once the prawns are cooked through and mixed well, dish them up into a plate.  Serve with steamed jasmine rice.
