Butter Prawns Recipe

I love butter prawn but never knew how to make them. That is until My Kitchen Snippet post it on her blog and boy was I happy! If only I had known how easy it is to make them much much earlier, I could have impressed my mom with my cooking talent. lol!

Here is my version of the recipe which I mostly just copy and paste with a little bit of different ingredients since I used whatever was available in my fridge and I add/subtract stuff that I like to have more/less.

500gm fresh prawns

3 tbsp corn flour

2 tbsp butter

1/2 can evaporated milk (I didn have any so i used 1/4 cup milk instead)

1 cloves of garlic - chopped

2 sprigs curry leaves (whc was given to me by Gert! tq dear!)

1-2 tsp chopped chilli

1 tsp sugar

Salt and pepper to taste

1. Coat the prawns with cornflour. In a pan of hot oil, stir fry the prawns till it turned pink in colour. Dish up and set aside.

2. Melt butter in a pan. Stir fry garlic until lightly brown. Add in the milk.

3. Stir fry till it dries up and formed granules.

4. Then add in sugar, salt and pepper, curry leaves and chilli and fry till fragrant.

5. Add in prawns and mixed well.

I made these twice and used 2 different pan. 1st with non-stick pan while the 2nd time with stainless steel. The result? Well, Using non-stick pan is so much easier and the milk when its drying up dont stick to the pan unlike using stainless stain. So, if you have non-stick pan, use it when you want to make butter prawn. The picture is off the 1st batch.
