Recipe by Mish Delish

Are you hosting and need an idea for a delicious starter? Make these crispy jumbo prawns from Claringbolds.

  • 6 - 8 large prawn cutlets (tail on)
  • 1⁄2 packet kataifi pastry
  • 3 cups cooking oil (I use safflower)
  • 1⁄3 cup honey
  • 1 tbs soy sauce
  • 2 tsp chinese cooking wine
  • Chopped chilli (optional)
  • Butter lettuce to serve

 

  1. Arrange the kataifi into 6-8 lengths and wrap around the prawns. Set aside
  2. Add the honey, soy and chinese wine to a small saucepan and bring to a simmer. Add chilli if desired and set aside.
  3. Heat the oil in a medium saucepan to approx 180 C and deep fry the prawns in batches until crispy and golden. This took about 3-4 minutes. Drain on paper towel.
  4. Arrange butter lettuce leaves on a platter and plate up the prawns. Drizzle over the sauce and enjoy right away.
