Malaysian Butter Prawn
Butter Prawn is a delicious Malaysian recipe that you can commonly find in local restaurants. It combines the best of Malay, Chinese, Indian, and western ingredients; this is a knockout dish in terms of taste, smell, and presentation. Every bite of the prawn reveals layer upon layer of complex flavors. It’s buttery, salty, sweet, spicy, and garlicky working off one another seamlessly and perfectly. This recipe is truly Malaysian and the taste is simply scrumptious and mouthwatering!
Recipe Ingredients
Other than prawn, the key ingredient of this dish is curry leaf. Highly aromatic in nature, curry leaf is widely used in southern Indian cuisine and Malaysian recipes. The exotic scent of these dark green leaves saturates coconut milk based curries with rich fragrance and perks up seafood dishes such as Butter Prawn and Black Pepper Crab. Another key ingredients is grated coconut, which adds amazing taste to the recipe. See the recipe card for full information on ingredients.
