Following the cutesy creation from the leftover ingredients in my fridge, here comes the sexy ones. Flirting with the world with their perky tails while wrapped tightly with golden outfits, these fried shrimps are seductress to the taste buds and make everyone wanting and crazing for more after first bite, aka love at first bite.
Inspired by this and Rice and Noodles, these shrimps were marinated with some ginger juice plus other Rasa Malaysia secret seasonings.
After some happy frolicking in the marinate, they were gracefully wrapped with spring roll skin and deep fried to crispy perfection.
Devour these sexy as soon as they are hot off the frying pan and set your tongue on fire with dollops of spicy Sri Racha chili sauce.
Sit back, take a bite, and let the gingery and flavorful juice burst in your mouth…can you say mmm mmm good?!

do you throw a dinner party when you clean the fridge? surely you cant be eating food that is presented like THAT just the two of you? it’s like a woman getting all dolled up to go to the loo…. what a waste!!!! it needs to be seen, caressed, by the people….
if my wife cooked dinner like that, i’d think i’d forgotten an anniversary or birthday.

I love these guys. I sometimes make a batch to freeze for later. May I suggest adding a sprig of corinader to the rolls just before frying…? Delish!
PS I love the contents of your fridge! :)

hey my mum used to make this prawn wrap… with one difference. instead of using popiah skin to wrap, she used bread! the piece of bread has to be roll until it is flat, then cut into half. since the wrap is made of bread, this kind of snack is very filling! i love it!

Being a shrimp lover, this is one of my favorite shrimp dishes. I once made this (the marination is different from yours) for a party and everybody loves it :)

What a wonderful way to clear out a fridge ! I love your recipe !

Wow, now I have the recipe for “firecracker shrimp!” I’ve also seen them tie a noodle around the shrimp too, so it looks like a bow.
You make recipes from cleaning out the fridge seem so luxurious! When I clean out the fridge, it looks like a disaster, and not a masterpiece.

I think they call it “firecracker shrimp” in Thailand. They also add a bit of curry paste inside the wrapper, and the “noodle” bow tie has to be made with a “fresh noodle!”
Reply
Oh this is so nice. I absolutely have to give it a try! Love this type of food, very much!
