Butter cereal prawns

Ingredients

• 1 packet of store-bought cereal prawn mix
• 2 sprigs curry leaves
• 350 g large prawns
• 3 large egg yolks, lightly beaten
• 2 chilli padi (bird?s eye chilli), sliced thinly
• 30 g butter
• vegetable oil for deep frying

Preparation

• Using a pair of kitchen scissors cut off the legs and trim the heads and tails slightly.
• Using a very sharp knife slit across the top of the prawn and pull out the veins. Leave the shell and heads intact.
• In a wok, add enough oil to cover the prawns. Once the oil is hot, add the prawns and deep fry until cooked. Remove the prawns and set aside.
• Melt butter in the wok, add the curry leaves and fry for about 30 seconds.
• Then add in the egg yolks and fry until cooked. Then add in the cereal mix and quickly fry until fragrant.
• Lower the fire to prevent the cereal from burning.
• Then add back the cooked prawns and coat entirely with the cereal.
• Serve hot.
