Prawn crackers
Prawn crackers is a snack made from a mixture of starch and prawn flavoring. They are usually deep-fried to create a light and airy texture, and are commonly served as an appetizer or side dish in many Asian cuisines.
Ingredients
- 1/2 pound prawns peeled and deveined
- 1 egg white
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon sugar
- Vegetable oil for frying
Instructions
- In a food processor, blend the prawns until they form a smooth paste.
- Add the egg white, cornstarch, salt, and sugar to the prawn paste. Mix well to combine.
- Take a small amount of the prawn mixture and flatten it into a thin disc on a baking sheet. Repeat with the remaining mixture.
- Heat the vegetable oil in a deep fryer or a large pan to 180°C (350°F).
- Carefully lower the prawn discs into the hot oil, a few at a time, and fry until they puff up and turn light golden brown. This should only take a few seconds.
- Remove the prawn crackers from the oil using a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels to remove excess oil.
- Repeat the frying process with the remaining prawn discs.
- Serve the freshly fried prawn crackers hot and enjoy as a tasty snack or appetizer.
