Ingredients

Number of serving: 4

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.
