Malay Butter Prawns with Silken Egg Yolk

Malay Butter Prawns with Silken Egg Yolk with Sauvignon Blanc

Malay Prawn Recipe with Sauvignon Blanc

Try this aromatic Malaysian-inspired dish with crisp citrus Sauvignon Blanc

Combining Malay, Chinese, Indian and western ingredients, as well as Chinese cooking techniques, this is a delicious example of a truly Malaysian dish. Every bite reveals a spectrum of flavours from buttery and salty to sweet and spicy. The flavour bomb combinations typical of Malaysian food can be intimidating when selecting a wine.

It’s hard to do wrong with a youthful, fruity Sauvignon Blanc from the cool climate Adelaide Hills region. The naturally high acidity in the wine pairs beautifully by acting as a palate cleanser between each bite of deliciousness. Flavours of passionfruit and guava continue through a luscious mid-palate before a clean citrus-like finish.

Whether you’re discussing the delicious taste of this yummy pairing, or just enjoying an overdue catch-up, every day is the perfect time to share a crisp glass of Altitude Sauvignon Blanc.

Nepenthe partners with Good Chef Bad Chef to bring you delicious food and wine pairings to get the conversation flowing. With healthy choices and some comforting classics, but always delicious! Especially when paired with your favourite Nepenthe wine.

Recipe by: Adrian Richardson

Time: 30 minutes Serves: 4

 

Ingredients:

  • 500g prawns, shells and heads on
  • 4 tbsp plain flour
  • 6 egg yolks, whisked
  • ½ tsp salt
  • 1 cup vegetable oil, for frying
  • 2 small bird's eye chillies, pounded, optional
  • 3 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
  • 100g unsalted butter
  • 3 cloves garlic, finely chopped
  • 3 sprigs curry leaves
  • 2 spring onions, finely chopped
  • 1 tbsp rice wine vinegar
  • Fried shallots
  • ½ bunch fresh coriander

Method:

  1. Leave the prawn heads and shells on but chop off the eyes. Cut the legs with scissors. Slit down the back to remove the veins. Pat dry. Add the salt and flour to the prawns and toss to coat evenly.
  2. Heat up a skillet with the frying oil and pan-fry the prawn until the shells turn white but not completely cooked. Drain and set aside.
  3. Tip out the oil into another bowl or saucepan - this can be used again. Use a strainer to remove any chunky bits.
  4. Heat up the olive oil in the skillet, and add in the butter. With a wooden spoon, keep sitting continuously until melted. Then, while continuing to stir, add in the egg yolks a little bit at a time. Keep them moving to break them up as they cook to create the silken egg yolk look.
  5. Add in the curry leaves while continuing to stir, then the chilli and garlic as well. Season with salt and pepper. Remove from the pan.
  6. Add the prawns back into the pan to heat up, then add the eggs back in. When heated through and coated, serve immediately with fried shallots and fresh coriander.
