Note: Following is an act of love (for food), only a handful of prawns were being harmed in the process and any resemblance to them frying in oil, last no longer than 3minutes.
Plus they were coated with flour.
See, no contact with oil.
This snack is one of my family’s favorite afternoon snack – it’s crispy golden on the outside and inside, it’s a mélange of sweetness from the sweetcorn and caramelised onions fusing with the kick from dried chilli and pleasure of sinking your teeth into fresh prawns. Bring on the prawn pleasure!
Ingredients:
- fresh prawns (shelled,de-veined, roughly chopped)
- sweet corn (they came out of a can)
- onion (white)
- 2 dried chilli (minced to tiny bits)
- plain flour
- water
- salt
I dont normally measure the exact proportion of ingredients but the ratio of prawns, onions and sweetcorn should roughly work out to be 1:2:1.
1. Mix de-shelled prawns, onions, sweetcorn, dried chilli, flour and water to a smooth texture – it should be paste like but not too runny. Add several pinches of salt to taste.
2. Heat oil (or turn on the deep fryer), scoop/sculpt prawn mixture using 2 tablespoons and fry vulnerable prawn mixture ’til it’s golden brown on both side.
3. transfer to paper towels, let it cool before serving.
