I love plump deep-fried prawns. They're yummier if you make them at home.

We eat the tails of the fried prawns at restaurants. So I have to be ready for the oil to sputter. Do not overcook the prawns otherwise the they will be dry and tough. For making 16. Recipe by Peko.

  14. 2 tbsp※Milk
  15. 1※Egg
  16. 1 tsp※Mayonnaise
  17. 1Panko (as needed)

Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Peel the prawns and rinse well. Marinate with the pre-seasonings and let stand for about 5 minutes. Cut open the back lengthways with a knife and remove the veins.

  2. 2

    With a knife, make a light lengthwise slit.

  3. 3

    Next, cut about halfway through the shrimp right at the middle. Make two more slashes, one 1 cm away from the first slash, and the other 2 cm away, to make three slashes altogether.

  4. 4

    Straighten the shrimp by pushing the back of the shrimp towards the front. You might feel the sinew breaking.

  5. 5

    Cut off the tips of the tails if you don't want the oil to sputter.

  6. 6

    Coat each prawn with the ※ batter.

  7. 7

    Coat with panko. Just before frying the prawns, stretch them straight once more, then gently drop them to the oil.

  8. 8

    Deep-fry in oil that has been heated to 340°F/170°C. Since they were slashed through several times, they will cook quickly.

  9. 9

    Tartar sauce Chop the onion finely and sprinkle with salt, then microwave for 2 to 3 minutes. This makes the onion sweeter.

  10. 10

    Mash the boiled egg finely with a fork or masher.

  11. 11

    Combine all the tartar sauce ingredients.

  12. 12

    Serve the fried prawns and tartar sauce together.
