This dish is a classic Thai preparation of protein. It’s a very satisfying dish, especially made with shell-on shrimp. We eat shrimp, shells and all, so we don’t miss out on any flavor. It’s also a kid-friendly dinner dish. Serve with lots of rice.
Ingredients
- 8 cloves garlic, chopped, or more to taste
- 2 tablespoons tapioca flour
- 2 tablespoons fish sauce
- 2 tablespoons light soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon white sugar
- ½ teaspoon ground white pepper
- ¼ cup vegetable oil, divided, or as needed
- 1 pound whole unpeeled prawns, divided
Directions
Step 1
Combine garlic, tapioca flour, fish sauce, soy sauce, sugar, and white pepper in a bowl; add prawns and toss to coat.
Step 2
Heat 2 tablespoons oil in a heavy skillet over high heat. Add 1/2 of the prawns in single layer; fry until golden brown and crispy, 1 to 2 minutes per side. Repeat with remaining oil and remaining prawns.
Tips
Use wok instead of skillet, if desired.
