One more starter with prawns. I should say this is very easy to make & tastes awesome!! We both enjoyed it so much and I had only one regret…I made only a few, it got over so fast :( . I tried this dish with some leftover prawns from mixed fried rice. If you like prawns, I would strongly recommend you to give this a try, am sure you will not be disappointed.
Here is the recipe:
- Prawns – 16
- Egg – 1
- Salt – as required
Pepper – as required
Cornflour – 2 tbsp - Bread – 4 slices
- Onion -1, chopped
- Oil
Clean the prawns, you can retain its tail if you wish. Beat the egg well & add cornflour, salt & pepper. Combine well. Dip prawns in this batter. Remove the crusts from the bread slices and cut each slice into four pieces. Place one prawn on top of each bread square & press gently. Repeat the same till all the prawns are placed in this manner. Pour the remaining egg batter on these bread squares. Sprinkle the chopped onion on top of the bread squares. Heat oil in a pan and deep fry the same. Serve hot with tomato ketchup or any other sauce of your choice.
Notes: Though the original recipe uses uncooked prawns, I used cooked prawns for this. Make sure that the prawns are well coated with the egg batter, otherwise it may separate from the bread piece while frying.

Seeba, thanks for your idea of sandwich, I will try it next time and yes am on the lookout for a good microwave cake recipe :)
hi maria!! I made it and it was just toooo yummy,that it got over sooooo fast!!! and i even tried by placing another bread portion over the prawn and fried,(like a sandwich) it was good too. Ya pls do post a microwave baked caked.
finally i made it!! it was just as simple as i thot and tasted even better! i thot shrimp might have a bland taste but when coated well with batter as u said it was tasty..my onions got burnt for the first one n i had one less to eat :( …and it didnt work as an appetiser for me..it was a total filler :D
