Chaozhou-style Fried Prawns

Chaozhou-style Fried Prawns

Chaozhou-style Fried Prawns is a popular seafood dish from the Chaozhou region of China. This dish is prepared by marinating fresh prawns in a mixture of salt, pepper, and light soy sauce, which gives them a savory and slightly spicy flavor. The prawns are then coated in a light batter made of rice flour and cornstarch, which gives them a crispy and crunchy texture. They are then deep-fried until golden brown and served hot with a side of sweet chili sauce. This dish is loved for its delicate and crispy texture, juicy prawns, and a perfect balance of savory and sweet flavors.
