Provided by Food Network

Time 40m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 4

17 1/2 ounces/500 g large raw tiger prawns (shrimp)
10 1/2 ounces/300 g pork paste (from Asian Butcher)
5 1/2 ounces/ 150 g young green rice flakes
Vegetable oil, for deep-frying

Steps:

  • Peel only the body of the prawns, leaving the heads and tails intact, then devein them.
  • Oil your hands and take a heaped tablespoon of pork paste; shape the paste around the body of the prawns (leaving the head and tail uncovered), pressing it tightly to coat the prawns evenly.
  • Repeat this process with all the paste and prawns.
  • Sprinkle the rice flakes on a flat tray and roll the prawns in the flakes, creating a thick coating of flakes around the fish paste. Heat the oil in a wok or saucepan to 350 degrees F (180 degrees C), or until a cube of bread dropped into the oil browns in 15 seconds.
  • Add the prawns in batches and deep-fry 2 minutes, or until crisp.
