Fry for a minute  and turn side until it turns slightly dark brown. Drain using a slotted spoon on a kitchen paper towel.

I made this while I was home alone so I got the idea of quickly making a sandwich from these fish fillets. Since I had wholegrain bread stored in my fridge, I just toasted it in the pan lightly for 2 mins each slice and spread it with mustard sauce topped with cherry tomatoes stuffed with fish fillet. This was filling and was quick and easy. You can also add some pickles and veggies to make it a perfect low-cal meal. If your having a party at home serve it in small portions to make an elegant appetizer.

Coconut Shrimp Fry

It’s been far too long since I’ve deep-fried food and had a crazy craving for some seafood. Shrimp fry with a lovely twist of coconut and breadcrumb mix was a great treat.

Coconut Shrimp Fry 🍤 has a delicious coating of sweetness and light crunch. Although I had fresh grated coconut I wanted to try out the dry desiccated coconut 🥥. It’s available in most supermarkets especially when fresh coconut is not available locally.

For the two of us it was a good amount of shrimps as a side. I prefer buying fresh shrimps than the pre-packed peeled ones as I am always not too sure how fresh they are.

Preparation time: 15 minutes(excluding marination & peeling)

Cooking time: 20 minutes

 

Ingredients

Shrimps medium large – 500 g (with shell), peeled with tail intact

Vegetable oil for deep-frying

Marinade

Coconut milk – 250 ml

Red chili powder – 1 tbsp

Coriander leaves – 3 stems, finely chopped

Oregano – 1 tsp

Salt – 1/2 tsp

 

Coating

All-purpose flour – 1 cup or as needed

Egg whites – 4 small, lightly whisked

Desiccated coconut (dry) – 3/4 cup

Breadcrumbs – 3/4 cup

 

Directions

1. In a medium bowl, mix the coconut milk, chili powder, oregano, salt, coriander leaves. Add the shrimps soaked in the mixture. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 1 hour.

After an hour, discard the marinade.

2. Place flour in one plate, egg-whites in another with a pinch of salt and in the third place the coconut and breadcrumb mixture (equal portions of both).

Coat the shrimps first in flour, remove excess flour. Dip it in egg white and then coat it with coconut-breadcrumb mixture.

3. In a large deep-frying pot, pour enough oil at a depth of 2 inches. Heat at a temperature by testing the oil.

Fry in batches, add coated prawns to hot oil turn side in 2 mins and fry until it changes color or cooked through. Do not overload the pot while frying.

Sweet Chilli Prawns

I know there are many ingredients that include in Sweet Chilli Prawn recipe, but not all are required. You can still prepare this recipe with few sauces like the soya sauce and tomato sauce. They are always in my pantry for delicious stir-fry dishes as these.

This dish is mildly spicy, and in order to find these ingredients, the first place I recommend is your local international food market.

Prawn with Coconut Milk

I’m so glad to be posting again. My first post of the year with fresh white prawns, all time favorite!

I prepare prawns with coconut milk quiet often, so I don’t have to spend a lot of time in the kitchen. It’s goes well with rice , bread or rice pancakes which I have posted earlier. If you can find fresh prawns at your local stores it’s a must try recipe with coconut milk. From my previous experience frozen prawns do not give a flavored taste as much as the fresh prawns do. I made use of a spice powder called Chicken sukka powder, believe me, this recipe tastes delicious with this ingredient. Even if you don’t have it you can substitute it with fish curry powder or any prawn spice powder. It’s available at the Asian stores if you have trouble finding.

Happy New Year! 🙂 🙂

Prawn Fried Rice Recipe

A quick and easy one pot rice recipe is the Fried Rice. I picked up this recipe from my sis-in-law back then when I used to visit them in a countryside. This is almost exactly her recipe.

It is a great way to use left over rice or prepare it quickly for many servings.

Preparation time: 15 minutes

Cooking time: 20 minutes (plus cooking rice 20 mins)

Ingredients

Oil – Vegetable/Olive

Vegetables:

Green bell pepper – 1

Red bell pepper – 1

Green beans – 1/2 cup

Carrots – 1/2 cup

 

For the rice:

Cooked rice – 1 cup, (I used freshly cooked rice, you can also use left-over rice)

Ground black pepper – 1 tsp

Sweet chili sauce – 2 tbsp

Chicken stock – 1 cube, mixed in warm water

Spring onion – 1/2 cup, chopped

Prawns – 1 cup, whole or halved (I cut them into halves)

pepper powder  – pinch (for prawn)

Red chili powder – pinch (for prawn)

Egg – 2, lightly beaten with addition of a pinch of salt

Directions

1. Cut the ingredients into uniform size for an easy stir-fry. Set them aside.

bell-pepper

green beans, carrots

prawns

 

2. Heat a wok or deep pan with 1 tsp of oil.Swirl the pan to coat the pan evenly. To determine the wok is hot enough flick droplets of water, they will evaporate in a matter of seconds (make sure not to overheat). Now, its ready to stir-fry the ingredients.

 

3. Stir Fry:

Add the beaten eggs, stir-fry and scramble using a wooden spatula for 1- 2 minutes. Transfer it on a large plate.

Then add the carrots and green beans. Fry till tender crisp, for couple of minutes (I fried this separately as it takes longer time to be crispy-tender). Transfer into the same plate containing eggs.

Then, stir-fry peppers until tender crisp. Transfer to the plate.

Do the same for prawns, add 1/4 tsp salt, pepper powder, red chili powder, stir-fry on high till it turns slightly brown. Set it aside in the plate.
