METHOD:

Shell the prawns and remove the tails. From the interior curve, cut the meat leaving the thin layer on the back. Mix soy sauce, lemon juice, mustard powder, salt, garlic and ginger. Dip prawns in the batter and in the beaten egg. Roll them over breadcrumbs for coating. Fry the prawns properly until they become crispy. Serve with boiled carrot, tomato, broccoli and garlic rice.
