Butter Prawns is a relatively new Malaysian creation--combining the best of Malay, Chinese, Indian, and western ingredients, this is a knockout dish in terms of taste, smell, and presentation.
Ingredients
- 1 lb large prawns shopping list
- oil for deep frying shopping list
- 3 tablespoons butter shopping list
- 6 bird's eye chilies (chopped) shopping list
- 3 sprigs of curry leaves (use only the leaves) shopping list
- 3 cloves garlic (finely chopped) shopping list
- 1/2 teaspoon salt shopping list
- 1 teaspoon sugar shopping list
- 1/2 teaspoon soy sauce shopping list
- 1 tablespoon Chinese cooking wine (rice wine preferred) shopping list
- 6 tablespoons of grated coconut (dry fried until golden brown) shopping list
How to make it
- Leave the prawn heads and shells on but chop off the eyes part. Slit down the back to remove the veins. Pat dry. Heat oil and deep fry the prawns. Drain and set aside.
- Melt the butter, add bird's eye chilies, curry leaves, garlic, salt and fry for 2 minutes or until fragrant. Add prawns, sugar, soy sauce, wine, and grated coconut. Cook over high heat for 1-2 minutes, stirring frequently. Serve immediately.
