Starters Recipes - Prawn Crackers Recipe

Ingredients

  • 250g/9oz peeled raw prawns

  • 250g/9oz tapioca flour

  • Salt and pepper

  • Vegetable oil for deep-frying

Serves 4


Method:

  1. Liquidize the prawns in a blender until they form a smooth paste. Transfer the prawn paste into a bowl and mix in the tapioca flour, salt and pepper. Mix well to form a stiff dough.

  2. Divide the dough into 3 equal portions. Roll up each portion then place the rolls on a greased plate. Place the rolls on a stand in a pan of boiling water or in a steamer, and steam for 40 to 45 minutes over a high heat.

  3. Leave the rolls to cool, then wrap in a clean tea towel and chill well in the refrigerator.

  4. Use a very sharp knife to slice thinly.

  5. Heat the oil in a deep wok and deep-fry the crackers in batches until crisp.

  6. Remove from wok and drain on kitchen paper. Serve hot or cold.
