 How To Make King Prawn Butterfly

This King Prawn Butterfly is a traditional Indian restaurant appetizer created with giant prawns that have been well-seasoned, breaded, and fried to golden perfection. One of our favorite appetizers, which we've tried many times. It's so simple to prepare at home, and it's also kid-friendly, freezer-friendly, and budget-friendly.

I like seafood, particularly prawns. My favorite appetizers to provide at our get-togethers and parties are sesame prawn toast and crispy honey shrimp. Butterfly King Prawn is a kind of prawn that is shaped like a butterfly

The butterfly prawn is a popular beginning at Indian restaurants and takeaways in the United Kingdom. Crispy prawns are seasoned with a touch of Indian spices, coated with golden bread crumbs, then deep-fried. It's great on its own, but it's also great with tomato sauce, pakora sauce, or chilli sauce.

The majority of store-bought frozen prawns and takeout fried prawns are extensively breaded, with no prawn in sight. That's why we tried it at home, and it was a tremendous hit. I used to make these in huge batches and freeze half of them for later use.

What do we require?

Prawns/Shrimp - Butterfly prawns are best made using raw, uncooked big prawns or shrimp. Use prawns that have been peeled and deveined, but the heads and tails have been left on. Tails-on shrimp have a natural grip that makes breading a breeze. If you can find a pre-peeled or easy-peeled prawn, use it to save time in the kitchen.

Bread crumbs - To obtain the crispy coating texture, I used golden bread crumbs. White bread crumbs, panko, or other dry bread crumbs from your cupboard may also be used.

Curry powderUse your favorite mild or spicy Indian curry powder . Turmeric, cumin, chili powder, ground coriander, pepper, cinnamon, and other spices are often used in curry powder. To give the prawns some color and flavor Plain flour - To dredge the prawns, use regular all-purpose flour, plain flour, or corn starch.

• Add half a teaspoon of chilli powder to give it a rush of spice. If you want a milder flavor, replace the chilli powder with paprika powder or leave it out entirely.

• Garlic granules  A dab of garlic powder or garlic granules adds a touch of garlicky flavor to the seafood, masking any fishy odors. Garlic granules may be replaced with freshly grated garlic or garlic paste.

• Salt and pepper - for a spicy flavor, I use freshly ground black pepper and salt to taste To cook the butterfly shrimps, use a neutral-flavored vegetable oil that won't overshadow them. To accomplish ideal deep frying, fill the frying pot with oil up to 3 inches deep.

What is the best way to make it?

What is the best way to butterfly prawns? To butterfly the prawns, cut along the back of the prawn but leave the tail tip intact using a sharp knife. Remove any remaining veins within the shrimp and flatten the prawn by shallow crisscross diagonal scoring. Make careful you don't cut all the way through.

Salt, pepper, chili powder, curry powder, and garlic powder are whisked into two eggs. In a separate dish or tray, combine breadcrumbs and plain flour.

What is the best way to prepare prawn breading? Hold the butterflied prawn by its tail and dip it in the eggs before dredging it in plain flour. After that, dip it in the egg one again before dredging it in the bread crumbs. To coat it evenly, gently massage it with your fingertips.

Heat the oil to 330-340°F (160-170°C) over medium-high heat and fry the breaded prawns for 3-4 minutes, or until golden brown and crispy.

Remove the pan from the oil and set it on a paper towel. Transfer to a serving platter and serve right away with a dipping sauce of your choice.

In a small bowl, combine tomato ketchup, mint yoghurt sauce, lime juice, salt, and finely chopped coriander to produce a simple dipping sauce.

Pro Suggestions

It's critical to keep the oil at a temperature of roughly 330°F (160°C). Low-heat oil may make the prawns' coating texture oily, while high-heat oil can easily burn the coating Use the biggest prawns/shrimp you can find, since prawns can shrink somewhat when deep fried.

The prawns should not be thoroughly battered; instead, lightly press them into the flour and bread crumbs Seasonings may be changed to suit your tastes by adding or removing spices While deep frying, stain the cooked bread crumbs using a mesh sieve in between.
