Golden Sand Prawn 金沙虾球

This is a modified version of this dish. We love prawns but sometimes we are just too lazy to remove the shelled. At times, we just remove the shells without enjoying the flavours on it. Hence, I modified the recipe a little so the prawns now get all the flavours and not just on the shells.

Since the shells are removed, you have to be careful not to overcook the prawns. I didn't deep fried them, just a bit more oil to shallow fry.

Those who doesn't like to get their fingers dirty will like this. :)
