Fried Prawns

This dish is best made with fresh prawns, if you can get them.

12 - 16 prawns (the largest you can get, and certainly not less than 5 or 6 cm / 3" long)

1 egg

1/2 tsp ground coriander

salt and pepper

6 tbs breadcrumbs or plain flour vegetable oil

Fried Prawns

Beat the egg, add the ground coriander, and season with salt and pepper. Shell and wash the prawns, dry them, and put them into the beaten egg. Heat the oil in a wok or frying-pan. Coat the prawns with breadcrumbs or flour, and fry them 3 or 4 at a time.
