Dynamite Prawns ~ When The Hubby Cooks!

So I’ve been contemplating on which recipe to post that is suitable for the occasion. Christmas is exactly a week away and I am sure that most of you have already drawn up your Christmas meal menu and are already working on it. If you haven’t decided what to serve as a starter then this recipe is a must make! You and your guests are going to love it! Well, we ate these prawns last year at a family potluck party and loved them instantly. At that point of time I was still going slow with my prawn intake as my allergies were slowing fading away but I did pop one in my mouth and it was brilliant!
This year, the hubby decided to make them for our daughter’s birthday and it was a hit. Other than the deep frying which took some time, it was a breeze to make it. It is best if you can get frozen, pre cleaned shrimp/prawns so you can dive straight into the actual making of this dish.

You can tweak the quantity of sauces used and get creative by by adding things that are not part of the recipe below. Afterall what we made is an adaptation of the very famous Dynamite Shrimp available at P.F Chang’s, an Asian themed restaurant chain, one of our favourite places to eat.
So go ahead, make it at home. Eat, serve and enjoy!

    Even though I don't have prawns – just like you, allergic reasons! – I nicely eat the dynamite from PF Changs, and then end up having an itchy mouth for the next 24 hours… hehe… I would love to try this for the girls and the dad… they would love it…
