Prawns Fry

Prawns fry recipe – a quick prawns stir fry made with simple and easily available ingredients. To make any seafood, we use very few spices or garam masala. This helps to retain the original flavor of the seafood otherwise it gets dominated by the masala.

This quick prawns fry can be made under 15 minutes excluding marination time. It goes good with plain rice or any flavored rice. You can even make a prawn ghee rice just with the addition of cooked rice and ghee.

I have used fresh black tiger prawns to make this stir fry. Any variety of prawns or shrimp can be used. You can use even the smaller variety of prawns.

How to make prawns fry or royyala vepudu

1. Devein and clean prawns. Rinse them thoroughly. To remove fishy smell, they can be rinsed in little vinegar. You can also use lemon juice and salt. If using frozen prawns, you will need to soak in hot water for a while. This will help to soften them. Drain off water completely. Add lemon juice and 1 tsp oil. Mix well.

2. Add ginger garlic paste,red chili powder, turmeric, garam masala and coriander powder as well. Mix and set aside for at least 30 minutes. You can refrigerate for over night in the fridge.

4. Stir in the onions and slit chilies. Sprinkle salt.

5. As soon as the onions turn pink, add marinated prawns and fry.

6. When they begin to swirl up, add curry leaves as well. Continue to fry again.

7. The prawns will swirl up completely. It means they are cooked thoroughly. Then add red chili powder and stir for just a minute. 1 tbsp fresh grated coconut can also be added at this stage. Stir fry until the coconut begin to smell good.
