You cannot imagine since I am looking to find this recipe........I was in Malaysia for 3 years and this was my favorite food, but I never asked for the recipe.
THANK YOU!!!!!!

Dazy - thats a great idea, I always like to infuse the butter with garlic etc too..

2009-03-23T17:42:00.000+08:00

The recipe is just fantastic. I reduced the butter from 6 tbsp to 3 tbsp. And used it first in a saucepan for two minutes with the garlic and ginger to enhance their flavors before adding the wine.

I have prawns and I have left over curry leaves, so I thought Butter Prawn would be good! Did a search and found ur recipe. So, I just tried out ur recipe and I tell you.....it is THE BEST! Though the Butter Prawn might clog the artery, it was definetely a thumb sucking good! Only thing I did a diferently, I use the whole egg instead just the egg york...did not want to waste it and the egg tasted so good...so favourful!

Thanks for sharing!

I have heard about the problems in getting curry leaves overseas. Somehow the dried ones does not taste as good. I think it's due to the freshness of the leaves that would give that desired fragrant.

Maybe you would like to try another simple way of cooking this dish since you like butter prawns a lot.

BLACK PEPPER BUTTER PRAWNS

10 large prawns (peel and cut into 2cm cubes & marinate with some pepper, soy sauce, sesame oil and sugar for 15 minutes)
some multipurpose frying flour (tempura flour will also work)
4 Tspn Butter
3 egg yolks (beaten)
Some grounded black pepper
6-8 curry leaves (bay leaves as alternative)
pinch of salt and sugar

Method:
1. Put some frying flour into the marinated prawns and mix well.
2. Fried the chunks in hot boiling oil until golden brown. Drain excess oil with kitchen towel and leave aside.
3. Heat up the butter in a wok.
4. Drip the egg yolk some at a time and scrambled it well.
5. Put in pinches of sugar for the crunchiness and some salt to taste.
6. Put in the curry leaves/bay leaves and stir until you get the aroma.
7. Put in the fried prawns and stir thoroughly while sprinkling some grounded black pepper over it to taste.
8. You can garnish this with some spring onions (4cm length)

I hope you like this simple recipe. If you want to find out more about some of my own creation, you could always check out my recipe section: http://crizfood.blogspot.com/search/label/recipe

Do enjoy your cooking and have a great week ahead :)

hi there, unfortunately, I have yet to find a suitable substitute for curry leaves - but if u cook without the curry leaves, this will still be tasty but without the unique aroma..hmm, you can probably find curry leaves at indian stores?

2008-10-31T11:52:00.000+08:00

Curry leaves: I know you said they are very, very important to this dish, but what to do if there are no curry leaves to be found? Any acceptable substitutions?

I really love this dish. My immediate family members love this very much and often request me to cook. I in fact use chicken meat marinated it instead of prawns. It's still remain the strong favour. Thanks.
