Ingredients食材

  • 800g raw king prawns, shell on生帝王虾 800 克,带壳
  • 4 tbsp cornflour生粉 4 汤匙
  • 2 tbsp plain flour中筋面粉 2 汤匙
  • 1 tsp fine salt细盐 1 茶匙
  • 1 tsp ground white pepper白胡椒粉 1 茶匙
  • 1/2 tsp five spice powder五香粉 半茶匙
  • 3 cloves garlic, finely chopped蒜 3 瓣,切末
  • 2 long red chillies, finely sliced红辣椒 2 只,切圈
  • 3 spring onions, finely sliced葱 3 根,切葱花
  • 1 tsp caster sugar细砂糖 1 茶匙
  • 750ml neutral oil, for frying食用油 750 毫升(炸用)
  • Lemon wedges, to serve柠檬角,上桌配

Method做法

  • 1Snip off the feelers and legs, cut down the back of each prawn through the shell and lift out the vein, leaving the shell on.剪掉虾须虾脚,虾背连壳划一刀挑出虾线,壳不用剥。
  • 2Pat the prawns very dry, then toss with the cornflour, plain flour and half the salt and white pepper.虾身擦到很干,加生粉、面粉和一半的盐、白胡椒粉抓匀。
  • 3Heat the oil in a wok to 180C — a pinch of flour should sizzle the moment it hits.锅里油烧到 180 度,撒一点面粉下去马上起泡就可以了。
  • 4Fry the prawns in two batches for 2 minutes each until the shells are crisp and orange, then drain on a rack.分两批下虾,每批炸 2 分钟,炸到壳脆壳红,捞出沥油。
  • 5Pour off all but 1 tbsp of oil and fry the garlic and chilli over medium heat for 30 seconds.倒掉多余的油只留 1 汤匙,中火爆香蒜末和辣椒圈 30 秒。
  • 6Return the prawns, add the remaining salt and pepper, the five spice and sugar, and toss hard for 30 seconds.虾回锅,撒剩下的盐、白胡椒粉、五香粉和糖,大火快速颠锅 30 秒。
  • 7Throw in the spring onion, toss once more and serve with lemon wedges.下葱花再翻一下,配柠檬角上桌。

Madam's tip太太小贴士

Shell-on is the whole point — fried until crisp the shell is the best part, so don't peel them first.椒盐虾就要连壳吃,壳炸脆了最香,千万别提前剥壳。
