Hello, Sarah and Laura from The Wandercooks here making Spicy Prawns on Crispy Wontons! Spring is juuuust around the corner in our home town of Adelaide, and we’re looking forward to brighter mornings and long days in the warm sun. Winter’s having one last laugh before it lets us go though, and today’s downpour has made for the perfect day to stay inside with the heater cranked and our stove ready to party!

Ingredients

For the Seasoning:

  • ¼ tsp black peppercorns
  • ¼ tsp coriander seeds
  • ¼ tsp sea salt flakes
  • ¼ tsp chilli flakes
  • 2/3 lb of uncooked medium to large prawns shelled and deveined
  • 5 square wonton wrappers
  • 1/2 cup peanut oil for shallow frying wontons and prawns
  • 2 tsp peanut oil
  • 1 clove garlic crushed
  • 1 fresh small red chilli thinly sliced
  • 2 tsp lime juice
  • 1 Tbs sweet chilli sauce
  • 1 spring onion thinly sliced

Instructions

  • Place the seasoning ingredients in a mortar and crush lightly with a pestle. This mortar and pestle set is made of granite, crushes easily, and is beautiful to boot.
  • Butterfly each prawn by slicing gently down the back (but not all the way through). Flatten each prawn slightly and set aside.
  • Slice the wonton wrappers in half. Heat the oil in a small frying pan and shallow fry the wrappers in batches until golden brown. Remove from the pan and set aside on absorbent paper to drain.
  • Reheat the oil, then shallow-fry the prawns in small batches for around 15 seconds each side or until prawns start to change color. Be careful of spitting oil. Remove from the pan and set aside on absorbent paper to drain.
  • In a large wok or frypan, heat the peanut oil and stir-fry the garlic and chilli until fragrant. Add the prawns, lime juice, sweet chili sauce and seasoning, and stir-fry until heated through. Remove from the heat and stir through the spring onion slices.
  • To serve, place a prawn or two on each crispy fried wonton wrapper.
