Cluck Cluck: Salted Egg Yolk Prawns

Salted Egg Yolk Prawns

Ingredients:

500g Prawns (shelled and deveined)
1 tbsp Fresh lemon juice
Salt and Pepper
8 Salted egg yolks
1/4 cup Heavy cream
1 tsp Sugar
1 tbsp Canola oil
10-12 pcs Curry leaves
2-3 pcs Chilli padi (chopped)

1 tsp Garlic (chopped)

Serves 2-3.

Directions:

1. Marinate the prawns in lemon juice, salt and pepper. Set aside.
   
2. Separate the egg yolks and mash them.
   
3. Add the cream and season with sugar, salt and pepper then mix.
   
   
   

   
4. In a heated pan with oil, lightly sauté the chilli and curry leaves for about 1-2 minutes.
   
5. Stir in the garlic.
   
6. Add the prawns and cook them for about 1-2 minutes.
   
7. Take the prawns from the pan and set aside.  (Note: traditional recipe calls for coating the prawns in egg and flour, and then frying them before adding to the egg yolk sauce. I decided to skip this step as I wanted to keep the prawns light and without batter.)
8. Add the egg yolk mixture in the pan and cook for about 3 minutes. Stir constantly. Taste and adjust seasoning as needed.
   
   
   
   
9. Add back the prawns and cook for another 2-3 minutes depending on the size of the prawns.
   
10. Serve with rice or mantau/ bread.
11. Plate and Enjoy! :)
