Recipe Jumbo Prawns






A. Jumbo Shrimp Rolls

Ingredients:

  • 12 tiger shrimps, shelled leaving tails intact
  • 2 tsps garlic powder
  • 1 tbsp cooking oil
  • Wonton wrappers, cut into small squares -adjust size according to size of your shrimps
  • 12 chives, soaked in hot water
  • Enough cooking oil to deep-fry

Method:

  • First, marinade the shrimps with garlic powder and cooking oil. Wrap each shrimp and brush with egg on edges to seal together. Place the shrimp diagonally across the wrapper squares and then wrap. Next, tie each 'shrimp parcel' with a chive and cut off the extra lengths. Place a damp paper towel on top of the wrapped shrimps as you work with each shrimp. Heat up enough oil to about 300 degrees F. Deep-fry in batches, making sure they don't stick to each other in the wok or pan. This should take about 2 minutes unless you're using very large shrimp. Serve with sweet chilli sauce or soy if desired.
