Method to make spicy prawn fired rice

Let us see the making of fried rice.

Marinate the prawns

In a bowl add the deveined and cleaned prawns.

To this add the salt, chilli powder, light soya sauce and vinegar. if you dont have vinegar, you can add the lemon juice also.

Mix them well and allow to marinate for about 30 to 45 minutes. keep it aside.

Fry the prawns

After about 30 minutes, in a big pan, add this marinated prawns. Saute them nicely so that prawns are almost cooked. It should be cooked for about 70 to 75% only.

no need to add any water, as the prawn itself leaves out water. cook in medium flame.

To know that prawns are 75% cooked, it gets curled up nicely and water dries out. It is the correct stage to remove the prawns from the pan.

remove it and keep it aside.

Prepare the fried rice

In the same pan, add oil

and when oil is hot add the ginger and garlic and fry in high flame.

also add the finely chopped onion and fry them too. If you want you can add 2 green chillies at this stage and fry them too. But i have not added here, as this spicy prawn fried rice is already spicy enough for our taste buds.

once the onion are nicely fried, add the capsicum and white part of the spring onions. Fry them in high flame.

In addition to it, add the soya sauce and the vinegar and mix them.

to this add the cooked prawns and green part of spring onions and again fry them in high flame.

Add little sugar so that it gives a nice sweet taste to the veggies and also maintains the colors of the added veggies.

now add the chilli sauce or tomato sauce, (i have added chilli sauce). In addition to it, add the pepper and salt as required.

Mix them well so that prawns gets fully cooked by this time. After that Add the boiled and cooked rice and fry them well in high flame so that they get a nice burnt flavor.

once the rice gets mixed well with the masala, then your spicy prawn fried rice is ready.

Notes

1. You can adjust all the spiciness as per your taste buds. I have not added green chilli, as the chilli powder itself spicy enough for us.
2. For fried rice, the rice should be fried in high flame so that you can get nice smoky flavour to the dish.
3. Try to use a thick iron wok.

Prawn Coconut Curry or Coconut Shrimp Curry forms a great side dish for any Indian flat breads or any Biryani varieties where you need a spicy side dish. This can be either made spicy or mild spiciness by increasing or decreasing the amount of chilli powder. In both the ways, it tastes great. Last Sunday I prepared this Prawn Coconut Curry as the side dish for the Chicken Biryani along with the Goan Prawn Fry.

Though I have heard this Garlic Butter Prawns or Butter Garlic Prawns, I have not tried this recipe, until I saw this recipe here. It looks so damn easy and I immediately went out to try. I finished cooking within 15 min and I loved the taste. I gave to my daughter and she liked the taste but my son said he needs more spicy and asked me to modify the the dish to prawn roast or prawn thokku with lots of Indian masalas. If he starts liking one taste, he always wants the same. But anyhow I loved the taste and finished this Butter garlic prawns as the side dish for plain rice.
