4.3
(4)

This dish is a classic Thai preparation of protein. It's a very satisfying dish, especially made with shell-on shrimp. We eat shrimp, shells and all, so we don't miss out on any flavor. It's also a kid-friendly dinner dish. Serve with lots of rice.

Ingredients

Original recipe (1X) yields 4 servings

  • 8 cloves garlic, chopped, or more to taste

  • 2 tablespoons tapioca flour

  • 2 tablespoons fish sauce

  • 2 tablespoons light soy sauce

  • 1 tablespoon white sugar

  • ½ teaspoon ground white pepper

  • ¼ cup vegetable oil, divided, or as needed

  • 1 pound whole unpeeled prawns, divided

Directions

  1. Combine garlic, tapioca flour, fish sauce, soy sauce, sugar, and white pepper in a bowl; add prawns and toss to coat.

  2. Heat 2 tablespoons oil in a heavy skillet over high heat. Add 1/2 of the prawns in single layer; fry until golden brown and crispy, 1 to 2 minutes per side. Repeat with remaining oil and remaining prawns.

Tips

Use wok instead of skillet, if desired.

Prawns can be fried in three batches or more, if needed, depending on the size of your skillet or wok.
