Prawn Chili Fry

Ingredients

• 1 cup Prawns or shrimp
• 3 tbsp Vegetable oil
• 2 large Onions thinly sliced
• 2 med Potatoes peeled and diced into small cubes
• 1 large Tomato sliced
• 2 med Chilies red or green
• ½ tsp Turmeric powder
• ½ tsp Chili powder or cayenne pepper
• 1 tbsp Vinegar
• 1 tsp Sugar
• ½ tsp Kosher salt
• ½ tsp Black pepper
• ¼ cup Chopped cilantro

Steps

1. Prawns – Clean the prawns by removing the shells but leaving the tails. Devein them and pat them dry. Then, season with salt and pepper. Set aside.
2. Saute – In a frying pan add 2 tbsp of oil and saute the onions until almost golden brown. Add the potatoes, salt, pepper, and turmeric powder. Continue to cook stirring frequently.
3. Spice – Once the potatoes are tender, add the tomatoes, chopped chilies, and chilly powder.
4. Prawns – Move the onion and potato mixture and make space in the center of the frying pan. Add, the remaining oil and the prawns. Cook the prawns in the center for 2 to 4 minutes or until just pink in color. Pro tip – I like to isolate the prawns in the center of the pan for the first few minutes. This reduces the fishy smell adding to the whole dish.
5. Assemble – Once the prawns are pink in color combine them with the rest of the ingredients in the pan. Cook for 2 to 4 minutes more until the prawns are tender. Add the vinegar, sugar, and chopped cilantro. Taste and adjust seasoning.
