Hi Anne! Sorry for my late response.

To cook shelled prawns, there should be a little extra step on the prawns.

Season prawns as usual. When ready to cook, dip the prawns in beaten egg yolk, and dust with corn flour and fry till lightly crispy. Drain and let the prawns cool. Repeat the frying part again for a few seconds after that. Then, follow the rest of the steps as per my recipe.

Hi Patrica,

I intent to remove the shells from the prawns to make it easier for eating especially for the children.

Do I follow the same methods as in marinating and deep frying??

Thank you :)

Hi Clioe,

Add the eggs only towards the end of your cooking. Dish up the cereal prawns first. Add in more oil, and then, break Teo eggs in the heated wok, let the eggs set for 3 seconds before scrambling it. When it is half cooked, quickly return cereal prawns into the wok and mix well with the mashed egg pieces.

I will show you the picture of my cooking for such in due.

Hi,

I think it's usually not so sticky. Just little of the cereal may stick in fact. And I think it's good enough in my dish when I cooked this.

I am not sure if it's helpful to drizzle some water to it but it may ended up soften the crisped cereal. Or, you have to deep fry the prawn and less drain it when return the prawns to wok. The remaining oil may help to stick with more cereal in that case.

This was incredible. Thanks for the recipe. I didn't have curry leaves but it tasted great nonetheless. I used 8 bird eye chilis to spice things up.

Hello..I chanced upon your blog and I really find it so interesting and informative. I never knew cereal prawns were so easy to cook! The prepack seasoning for the prawns is almost $2+ so using 3 in 1 cereal is really a good way to make this! Thank you so much for sharing!!!

Hi,

Add the cereal only when heat off. And do not put too much oil/ butter.

You may also fried the cereal in a dried heated wok (without grease) beforehand. Then, set aside and return to the wok again at last step.
