Whats cookin..?

Prawn..me and my auntie (i called her MOKCIK, using Kuala Kangsar accent) had discussed about whats good for cooking prawn. She told me that butter prawn(a famous cuisien since late 90's) taste good. The thing is i never try this dish and i didnt know the recipe either..

So on the next day i took an efford to surf the web for a recipe of butter prawn. I wish i could try it at home on weekend. But since i've bought Ensem..i couldnt spend much time on preparing the ingredients. Am sorry mokcik for disappointing you. But i promise i'll try the recipe next time and i will cook it specially for you ok :D

This are the recipe for butter prawns:

Ingredients

1 lb large prawns
Oil for deep frying
3 tablespoons butter
6 bird's eye chilies (chopped)
3 sprigs of curry leaves (use only the leaves)
3 cloves garlic (finely chopped)
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon sugar
1/2 teaspoon soy sauce
6 tablespoons of grated coconut (dry fried until golden brown)

Leave the prawn heads and shells on but chop off the eyes part. Slit down the back to remove the veins. Pat dry. Heat oil and deep fry the prawns. Drain and set aside.

Melt the butter, add bird's eye chilies, curry leaves, garlic, salt and fry for 2 minutes or until fragrant. Add prawns, sugar, soy sauce, wine, and grated coconut. Cook over high heat for 1-2 minutes, stirring frequently. Serve immediately.
