Cereal Prawns

I got this recipe from M4M forum sometime ago. My three gluttons were very delighted with this dish. As per forummer's advice, I coated the prawns with potato starch before deep frying all.

One thing I need to mention here is the tip given at Jingle's Blog, I learnt that to prevent the prawns from absorbing too much oil, the oil has to be very hot. In the past, whenever I deep fried any prawns, I was always worried that the oil would splatter all over the place, so I tend to lower the heat and let the prawns take a longer time to cook. Thus, I ended with very oily prawns. Thanks Jingle for this enlightening post and not to forget the one who shared this recipe at M4M forum (sorry, can't remember the User Name of the forummer and it is impossible to trace because I got it from the old forum), thanks for the wonderful recipe!
