Ingredients

4 garlic cloves, finely sliced 

3 dried chillies 

12 jumbo prawns, peeled & deveined, head and tails intact 

½ cup plain flour 

sea salt 

oil for shallow frying 

1 tbsp crispy fried shallots 

2 tbsp roughly chopped coriander leaves, to serve 

 

Tamarind sauce: 

¼ cup tamarind puree 

¼ cup fish sauce 

100g palm sugar, shaved 

3 tbsp white sugar 

1 tsp sea salt

Steps
  • Step 1

    For the tamarind sauce, heat the ingredients in a small saucepan over high heat. Simmer for 3-4 minutes or until the sugar dissolves. Set aside for later. 

  • Step 2

    Heat enough oil in a wok or frying pan for shallow frying. When the oil is hot add the garlic and cook until just golden. Use a slotted spoon to scoop out the garlic chips and drain them on paper towel. Add the dried chillies to the oil and cook for 2 minutes or until just crispy. Then drain them on paper towel also.

  • Step 3

    Season the prawns with salt. Toss the prawns in the flour and then carefully add the prawns into the hot oil. Cook for 2-3 minutes until opaque and cooked through. Drain on paper towel.

  • Step 4

    To serve, place the prawns on a plate. Pour over the sauce. Sprinkle over the garlic chips, the crispy chillies and the fried shallots. Scatter over the coriander and serve.
