1/2 tsp chili flakes

1/2 tsp sugar

25g Minced Garlic

50g Finely Chopped spring onions

Insert the shrimps in a plastic bag and toss with 2 tbsp tapioca starch.

Deep fry the lemon grass until golden – remove and drain on paper towel to remove excess oil.

Return the shrimps back to a small pan on low heat. Toss the shrimps with the garlic, chopped spring onion, fried lemon grass and the delicious salt and pepper mix for about 1 minute. Keep the heat on low.

Crush the prawn cracker really finely in a mortar and pestle.

Place the shrimps on a serving plate. Garnish with coriander and crushed prawn crackers. Serve with sweet chili sauce and mayonnaise. Eat with shell on to enjoy the crunch and flavor of the shrimp.
