Butter prawn is one of the most popular seafood dish in Malaysia and Singapore. This dish is so delicious and easy to make. 



Ingredients: 
  • 1/2 kg large prawn, deveined, tail-on, head-on (cut out the eyes part) 
  • A handful of curry leaves 
  • 3 tablespoons butter 
  • 6 bird’s eye chilies, finely chopped 
  • 3 to 4 cloves of garlic, finely chopped 
  • 6 tablespoons of grated coconut, dry fried until golden brown 
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt 
  • 1 teaspoon sugar 
  • 1/2 teaspoon light soy sauce 
  • Oil for deep frying 





Directions

1. Heat oil in deep-fryer or large wok to 190 degrees C. Carefully 
    place prawn in the hot oil. Deep fry until golden brown on all 
    side, about 1 1/2 minutes. Use a slotted spoon to remove 
    from oil. Drain on paper towels. Set aside. 




2. In a wok melt the butter over medium-high heat. Add in bird’s 
    eye chilies curry leaves, garlic, and salt. Stir fry for 2 minutes 
    or until aromatic. Mix in prawn, sugar, light soy sauce and

    the prawn with the mixture about 1 to 2 minutes. Turn the 
    heat off and served hot.
