Deep Fried King Prawns wrapped with fresh egg noodles




You will need:

  • 12 fresh king prawns
  • ½ tsp paprika
  • ½ tsp turmeric powder
  • salt to taste
  • 48-60 strands of fresh egg noodles
  • fresh baby spinach, to decorate (optional)


Directions:
  1. Clean the prawns and prepare them to suit your likings. (eg: either to remove the shell or not. You may remove the head for better presentation too)
  2. Add all the ingredients (except the noodles) in a bowl and marinade for 10-15 minutes.
  3. Wrap one prawn with 4-5 strands of fresh egg noodles.
  4. Deep fry in hot oil until the prawns change colour to pink and the noodles become crispy.
  5. Drain excess oil on kitchen paper towel.
  6. Arrange the prawns on baby spinach. Serve while hot with chilli sauce.



Source: From my vague memory of watching one of Ainsley Harriott's cooking programme, about 4-5 years ago! I tried to google for the exact recipe, but there was no match so far. If I'm not mistaken, Ainsley used skewers and removed the shells and deveined the prawns before frying.

Oh yes, I made up the ingredients for the marinade too. But two key ingredients were definitely prawns and fresh egg noodles.
