    Prawn Fried Rice Recipe

    I have quite a few varieties or chicken, fish & mutton recipes. But the one thing which i dont have much collection is prawns. I have been getting quite a few mails from viewers to post more prawn recipes. Couple weeks back when we went shopping we found 1 kg of prawns in a great price, immediately i picked one of that and as soon as i came home. I divided it into 7 portions and frozen separately. I wanted to make a variety of prawn recipes for my blog and for my lovable viewers. So stay tuned Yummy Tummy is going to flow with few superb prawn recipes.

    About Prawn Fried Rice Recipe

    The key for a perfect fried rice is the rice, you have to cook it till it is aldente or perfectly fluffy. And if you use pervious day cooked rice, then your fried rice will be even better. I started by making a marination for prawns and sauteing them separately then adding that to rice, because i wanted the prawn to have as much flavour as the rice has.

      I do not usually comment but i was so pleased with the outcome of this dish. I didnt have green chili on hand so used red chili and turned out fine. I also added an egg to mine. Other recipes would leave me unsatisfied with the taste and the amount of sauce. Thank you so much I will never use another fried rice recipe. Thumbs up!!
