Prawn fritters with veggie

I am not really good in cooking prawn dishes. I don't really know how to get rid of the smell of prawns which is something I dislike. There was a packet of frozen prawns sitting in the freezer for a long time. I didn't know what to do with it until I stumbled upon this recipe on Anncoojournal. It looks so simple and tasty from the photos. Since I have all ingredients, I gave the recipe a try and it turned out fantastic! Absolutely love it! A definite great appertiser for party.

Here is the recipe from Anncoojournal..

Ingredients:
100g Medium Prawns, about 10 prawns or add more if you like
1 Onion - shredded
1 small carrot - Grated or cut to thin match sticks (about 50g or more)
Some finely cut spring onion or coriander leaves

Note: I was too lazy to shred and cut, so I put the onion, carrot and spring onion into the mini chopper. Job done!  =p

For the batter:
1 Egg yolk with enough water to 150ml
3/4 cup plain flour
1 1/2 tbsp rice flour  (Omitted)

Method:
1) Remove shell and vein from prawns then cut to cubes not too small. Season with some pepper and salt.

2) Combine the batter ingredients together in a measuring cup and blend into a smooth texture paste.

3) Add enough oil for shallow frying with two drops of sesame oil in wok.

4) In a medium bowl add some prawn cubes, grated carrot and shredded together. Then add about 2-3 tbsp of batter (not too thick) into the prawn mixture with some coriander leaves or spring onion.

 5) Drop the coated prawn mixture in small portion into hot oil gently with a fork and spoon and shallow fry till golden brown. Dish up and drain oil well.

6) Serve Prawn Fritters with dipping sauce or Mayo sauce mix with some mustard into it. I dipped mine the old fashion way, Maggi Chili Sauce!
