Glazed Prawns with Walnuts

Author: Mr. Chow

Ingredients

  • 12 extra large fresh shrimp (cleaned skin peeled and tail out)
  • 1 tablespoon corn starch
  • 2 egg whites
  • 3 tablespoons fresh mayonnaise
  • 12-15 glazed walnuts
  • 3/4 lemon
  • 2 tablespoons of honey
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • pinch mustard powder

Instructions

To prepare shrimp:

  • Cut the back of shrimp (to make it slightly curl when cooked) and coat with corn starch, egg whites and a pinch of salt to marinate for a few hours.

To prepare sauce:

  • In a bowl, mix the mayonnaise with freshly squeezed lemon, honey, salt and a pinch of mustard powder thoroughly.
  • Heat wok with vegetable oil (medium-hot) and deep fry shrimp (oil must be very clean to make sure shrimp doesn’t come out dirty).
  • Deep fried shrimp must be drained to take away the excess oil.
  • In a bowl, toss deep fried shrimp with prepared mayonnaise sauce, coat shrimp evenly.
  • To serve:
  • Place the shrimp on a plate and add Glazed Walnuts on top.
  • Note: Prawns must look white and creamy. When extra large prawns are not avaiable, you can use slightly smaller prawns.
