Recipe: Satay Prawns (Prawns/Shrimps with Spicy Peanut Sauce)
Ingredients:
1/2 pound head-on & shell-on medium size shrimps (deveined)
3 tablespoons peanut sauce (click here for the recipe)
Some corn starch (to lightly coat the shrimps)
Oil for deep frying
1 garlic (finely chopped)
3-5 bird’s eye chilies (lightly crushed with a cleaver) – Optional
Method:
Lightly coat the shrimps with corn starch and deep fry them until golden and well done. Dish out and set aside on a plate with paper towels (to absorb the excess oil).
Heat up a wok and saute the garlic until light brown. Add in the satay peanut sauce and stir a few times. Toss in the fried shrimps and blend them well with the satay peanute sauce. Dish out and serve immediately.

I find Malaysian peanut satay sauce too sweet for my liking. Is it necessary to put in sugar and kicap manis. Is it a replacement for MSG. Many put sugar in as replacement for MSG. I once took some friends from Indonesia to Samuri. The just can’t adjust to it. Mind you they have their Sundanese/Javanese and equally good satay. I enjoy them all over Indonesia. I over-ordered and so much was left on the table.
This is a good idea! I wish I can find good satay peanut sauce easily.
that looks hot! in more ways than 1. yummy :)
never think of satay also can be part of the ingredient for prawn cooking..
i would prefer to cook the shrimp with oat….. nice…. yummmmmy….
Bee, I just made siomay with peanut sauce too :). Thanks for stopping by mind
The pic is so good that it can be used for the cover of cookbook. :-) That’s a great idea to use up satay sauce, yum!
Those prawns look really good!
Worldwindows – Not all satay peanut sauces are sweet in Malaysia. The one that I had recently in Petaling Street, Kuala Lumpur was spicy and spot on. It’s true that a lot of people use sugar to substitute for MSG. You can use MSG instead. I used kecap manis mostly for the coloring, not so much about making it sweet.
OMG, those Prawns look amazing. I would kill for a plate of those. Piggy is correct it’s a photo for the cover of a cookbook or on the cover of bon appetit! Just stunning.
What a lovely recipe. It’s definitely the best way to cook and eat whole prawns like this! :)
satay sauce + prawns – u have two of my favourite foods in one dish! :D~
i would never have thot of cooking prawns this way, hmmm instead of cooking the peanut sauce, i think i will pack back some satay and ask for extra sauce for this :p
I have tested your chicken satay and it was delicous. I should try this one too, it looks great! Nice job !!! cheers
Mmmh, this looks gorgeous!
With the high rise of price for food, this is a good idea to make do with what you have. I do that real often too.. hehe :P
Another way is to make lots of sambal udang (pounded dried shrimp chili paste) and use that as a dish, bread spread, or stir fry with green of your choice. Simple yet appetizing.
I did almost the same thing as this recipe of yours but I use the sambal udang instead. I added in some big onions, red chillies, tomatoes and curry leaves. The dish tasted real good except that my friends preferred the prawns to be without any skins on :P
I always love your pictures. How can you resist this meal.
I now know how to make Satay Prawns , thanks to your Satay Prawns recipe
This satay prawn looks so good! I must try making it using your satay prawn recipe.
