Wheat Fried Shrimp




This is also my little brother's favorite. We ate this for dinner yesterday :)
I'd say, this dish is at medium level. It's not easy.

Ingredients:

around 500 gr medium / large shrimps/prawns
2 maggi blocks
an egg
6-8 tbs margarine
7-11 tbs instant oatmeal
3-4 pandan leaves
1/2 big red chilli, open them up and throw the seeds away.
salt
pepper
sugar
flour
sesame oil

1. Peel the shrimps/prawns, but not the tail. Put them in a bowl
2. put around 1 tbsp sesame oil and 1 maggi block into the shrimps/prawns, you may add salt or pepper if you like. Mix them well, and let them soak in.
3. Chop pandan leaves and chilli evenly.
4. Scroll the shrimps/prawns into the flour.
5. Deep fry the shrimps/prawns until golden brown. Remember to deep fry, not deep burn them.
6. On another frying pan or a wok (I prefer a wok), Melt the margarine at high heat.
7. On a bowl, beat an egg.
8. Still at high heat, pour the beaten egg gradually while you stir the egg and the margarine.
It shouldn't look like scrambled egg.
9. Put around 2-4 tbsp sugar, and 1 maggi block. Stir well.
10. Put chopped chilli & pandan leaves. Stir well.
11. Put oatmeal gradually while you stirring it. The oatmeal will absorb the margarine, so it should look dry and crispy.
12. Put the shrimps/prawns. Fry them for a while.

Note :
-Shrimps/Prawns are really quick to cook. Make sure you don't overcooked them.
-Make sure your oil is hot enough when you deep fry the shrimps/prawns.To make sure the heat of your oil, throw some flour into them, if the oil is hot enough, the flour will look like boiling.
-If you're confused whether the shrimps/prawns are cooked or not, this is how my shrimps look like :
