So here is I am, getting used to Boredom as I have nothing to do.... both my sisters have their exams going on and I am talking to my husband asking what are your plans for today ? He says I might go to KFC and try the new Crunchy Shrimp ..
I get an Idea..
I go to the kitchen, take out some shrimp /prawns out of my freezer thaw them.. did some sooper kool stuff and Voila .! here is the result..
If you want your shrimp/prawns to end up like this Yumm-o delicacy here.. all you gotta do is ....
Ingre:
Prawns/Shrimp (de veined/ cleaned) 20
Cornflakes crumbs 1 cup
All purpose flour 1 cup
Salt to taste
Italian seasoning / dry oregano (optional) 1 tea spoon
Oil to fry
2 eggs beaten well
2 teaspoon Milk / Butter Milk works well
Half teaspoon Red chlli powder
Half teaspoon Garlic powder
Half Teaspoon Onion Powder
Half teaspoon All spice (optional)
A pinch of Cayenne Pepper
Lemon Juice 1 teaspoon.
Here is what I did :)
--> I combined all the Dry ingredients except the crumbs in a bowl, mix it really well so that there are no lumps are formed
--> Then I combined eggs, milk, lemon juice in another bowl mixing them really well too.
--> Pat dry the Shrimps.
--> I take a shrimp/prawn dust it well in the dry mixture and then take it to the egg mixture, bringing it back again to the dry mixture and then again in to the egg making it to be coated twice and then finally into the bread crumb
--> I spiced the bread crumbs as well with salt, oregano, black pepper so that the sweetness is gone.
--> Left the shrimp/prawns to rest for 3 - 5 minutes on a platter.
--> I heated up some vegetable oil, and fried the shrimps till they were nice and had a color like this in the picture. i.e Golden brown.
--> Serve Hot .. *sizzzlleee*
Oh wait.. Here is the good part.. Since I am on a diet I had to skip the frying part for me. So.. What I did was, I preheated my Oven at 180 degree Celsius and cooked these Yumm-os for like 8 - 9 minutes untill they were cooked.
I have to say it didn't make any difference in the taste. All Good .! :)
I served these Shrimp/Prawns with some garlic Mayonnaise.. *drool again even after having diner* but you can serve it with whatever dip u like. !
My Family gave a Thumbs Up.! to this. Dad said.. You should also try this with Chicken sometimes, Mum said I am having something so delicious I can hardly wait till you make it again. My sisters are like > When you were frying these, the whole house was filled with its aroma. You gotta make these again..!!
Insha Allah . I hope I can make these again..
You should really try this sometime..
Take Care,
Regards :)
