Shrimps for Father Day Celebration

Love shrimps. It is really tasty on its own. It is really fast to cook shrimps.

Come to think about it, I do feel pity for the shrimpers affected by the BP oil spill in South America. The environment disaster at such magnitude is way out of hand & it will take ages to recover to its normal state. I don't think any animals or sea creatures can survive in such disastrous environment. Therefore, people should be always thankful to the environment for providing food source to human beings & play our roles to conserve it.

Okay. Let's back to the foodies talk. Deep fried shrimps is always my favorite.

Recipes 1:
Dip the cleaned shrimps into egg whites
Coat it with the "kentury multipurpose frying flour"
Shallow fry or deep fry it.
Be careful not to overcook it.

My 6 years old just love these.

You can make your own flour mixture :normal all purpose flour, mix with some spices - dried basil/ oregano/curry powder/ cajun spices , pepper, salt
Or use any store bought crispy multipurpose deep fry flour mixture.

Recipes 2: Sambal Prawns
Sambal is one type of chili based sauces that is very common in Malaysia, Indonesian & Singapore. It can be very spicy. If I have time, I will make my own. Otherwise, just pick your favorite brand from the stores.

Store bought ready made sambal sauces
Lots of shallots/ small onion - cut in to strips
3 big chilies (de-seed it will make it less spicy)
Handful of fresh prawn
Salt

Method:
Heat oil in wok, stir fry the sambal with onion, in the prawn, a little bit of water, lid on, season with salt. That's it.

Tips: It is ok to serve cool for this dish, which mean you can prepare ahead of time.
It goes well with white rice. Yummy........
