Buttered Prawns

This dish is a favourite of my kids. Its easy and not spicy...great to eat with steaming hot white rice.

serves 4:-

600 gram large prawns

3 tbsp fresh milk

3 egg yolks

2 tbsp butter

1 tbsp chopped garlic

a few curry leaves

MARINADE INGREDIENTS:

1 egg yolk

1 tbsp rice flour

1) Wash prawns and drain. Cut the feelers but don't discard skins and tails. Make a long slit along the back of the prawns and discard the veins. Dry with paper towels.

2) Mix the marinade ingredients and stir until well combined. Add in prawns and mix thoroughly. Set aside for 15-20 minutes.

3) Heat oil and fry prawns till golden brown. Remove & drain.

4) Pour milk and egg yolks into a bowl. Mix till smooth.

5) Melt butter in a wok. Gradually pour in egg mixture. Fry over low heat and continue stirring to scramble the eggs.

6) Add in the prawns, chopped garlic and curry leaves. Saute over high heat until evenly cooked.

Remove from heat and serve immediately.
