If you're looking for an awesome seafood starter recipe,
This is just the right one for you.
Because we're going to be making Chilli Garlic Prawns,
It's spicy, has loads of Garlic. So let's get started with the recipe.
We're going to need to batter fry the prawns,
And then, later on, cook a lip-smacking sauce for it.
The first thing that goes into making this batter is 2 tbsp of Corn Flour.
And 2 tbsp of All-purpose flour.
1 tsp of Garlic paste.
1 tsp of Ginger paste.
1 tbsp of Soy sauce.
And about 1/4 of a tsp of Black Pepper Powder.
And now to make this batter really nice and crisp for the prawns,
I'm going to add 1 Egg.
Just crack that into the bowl.
And just whisk everything together.
Just make sure that this batter is nice and smooth and without any lumps.
And as soon as you get that consistency,
It's time to drop in about 300 grams of...
I've got medium sized Prawns.
So just drop all of them in in one go.
Just mix the prawns really well into this batter,
Making sure that they're coated completely.
The oil is nice and hot,
So it's time to start frying off the prawns.
As soon as these start turning nice and golden,
Make sure that you flip them over, So that they're evenly cooked.
And of the same colour.
The first batch of prawns is nicely cooked,
They're nice and golden.
So I'm just going to take them out of this hot oil,
And leave them to drain on a paper towel.
One batch of prawns is nicely fried,
So I'm just going to fry off the second batch.
That's it, now we're going to move on to making a really lip-smacking sauce...
...for these chili garlic prawns.
The first thing I'm going to start with is heating up the Wok.
And while that heats up, I'm going to make a cornflour slurry.
So I've got 1 tbsp of Cornflour here.
To this, I'm also going to add 1 tbsp of water.
And whisk that into a really smooth paste.
The wok has heated up really nicely,
And to this, I'm going to add 2 to 3 tbsp of oil,
I'm just using some of the leftover oil from frying the prawns.
And now to this, I'm going to add 2 tbsp of finely minced Garlic.
1/2 a tbsp of some finely minced Ginger.
Just cook these till the raw aroma goes away.
Now it's time to add some Spring Onions.
I'm using the equivalent of 2 spring onions,
The white part that have just been sliced up.
Now these are after all Chili Garlic Prawns,
We've got plenty of garlic in.
So now I'm going to add 3 Green Chillies that have just been slit in half.
Again just saute these.
Take the flame up to a medium one,
And immediately add 1 Green Capsicum, that's been cut up into chunks.
And stir-fry this.
And about 1/2 a tsp of some Pepper Powder.
Now to this add about 2 tbsp of Soy Sauce,
This is a Dark Soy Sauce.
1/2 a tbsp of Chilli Sauce.
And about a 1/4 cup of water.
Just mix everything together.
And just almost immediately add the cornflour slurry...
...that we had made earlier.
Make sure that you whisk it again, it's been sitting for a while.
Keep everything moving in the pan and just drizzle that in.
And quickly whisk it together.
Very quickly add the fried prawns.
Toss them to coat with that sauce really fast.
Just taste these at this stage,
If you feel the need to add a little bit more salt right now,
Please add it, because we've added plenty of soy sauce earlier.
So I'm just going to add very little.
Just sprinkle that in.
And again, very quickly toss it together.
These Chilli Garlic Prawns are almost ready,
I'm going to turn off the flame.
Add a 1/4 of a tsp of Plain White Vinegar.
And again, very quickly just toss it through.
These Chilli Garlic Prawns are absolutely ready.
So I'm just going to serve them up,
Because I can't wait to eat them.
These 'Chilli Garlic Prawns' are an awesome starter...
...for your next house party.
