Sri Lankan Recipes by Curry Mad – Pastry Prawns

Ingredients

1 Sprig Curry Leaves (Optional)
1 Egg (To brush the pastry before baking, if you
bake them)
500g Prawns, uncooked
1 Packet Shredded Pastry
For the Marinade
1 Tblsp Asian Cooking Wine (Optional)
1 Tblsp Chilli flakes (Optional)
1 Tblsp Fish Sauce
Salt & Pepper to taste
1 Tblsp Soya Sauce

Preparation

Prepare the Shredded Pastry for use according to the directions on the packet. Wash prawns lightly and then marinate them for 30 to 60 minutes. You could use raw prawns, but, they have to be deveined before washing. Suggest you do not use cooked prawns.

Break a small piece of the Pastry and wrap each prawn in it. Do this until you have used the required number of prawns. You could either deep fry the wrapped prawns and leave aside to drip and dry on a bed of paper towels, or bake them in a lined tray in a medium heat oven.

They are quite good as a `Savoury’ when having cocktails, or on their own. Enjoy.
