Prawn Squares

Oh my, AH would just looooooove these :)

Ingredients:
shrimps (mince to * paste form),
some salt and pepper,
bread cut into squares

Directions:
Slather the minced shrimps on the surface of the bread; deep fry in medium-hot temperature oil till shrimp filling at the top changes color

*Paste form:
-6-10 medium size prawns
-dashes of salt and pepper
-1tsp sesame oil
-1 egg white

Chop the prawns a paste consistency. Mix them in a mixing bowl and add in the marinade of salt and pepper & sesame oil. Then add in egg white and mix well. The final paste should not be too watery and just slightly sticky.


General Tips on Frying:
1. When you deep fry, do not use "re-used" oil or oil that has been kept from previous cooking
2. Make sure the oil is hot (170degC) so that the item you fry will not absorb the oil
3. Just do a light coat of flour
4. Set aside fried items on kitchen paper towel after frying, to absorb any excess oil
