This is the best shrimp fritter recipe I've tried in a long time. This was 5 years ago and this is my first time doing this recipe today 6 -22-2022 and I'm loving it. 💯+++++ Thank you!!!
Just finished making & eating the Prawn Fritters and, OMG!!!! SOOO DELICIOUS!!! I asked a question earlier as to what role butter played but not receiving an answer, I decided to make the recipe anyway & add it in. Now I know the butter answer! It added a wonderful flavor to the finished product. I will be adding this recipe to my "absolute faves" and making it often. Thank you for sharing it with us!
I just used this recipe to make a batch of prawn fritters for my family for lunch, everyone said the prawns tasted superb !!! And yes, they taste exactly like what you’re getting in restaurants! Thank you
Reminded me a dish which my late mom used to cooked during my younger days. Good food really brings back sweet memories...👍👍👍 Thank you for sharing it 🙏🙏🙏
Hi Roland n Jamie, long time no leave a comment. Wow, your channel n subscribers have grown so much! Amazing! I used a lot of your recipe when I was in London. Back on Sg now n I will be making this tonight! Continue to stay safe!
Hi FP VL. Welcome back to Singapore!! Haven’t heard from you for a long time indeed. How does it feel living so near to all the yummy local food? Hope you’re enjoying it. Stay safe!!
Hi Roland Your recipe is for 12 medium to large prawns. If i have 30 medium prawns, do i just double the measurements of all the ingredients. Thank you
i have been looking for prawn fritter recipe and i think i found the one that i like. i will test out this recipe next weekend. thanks for sharing your recipes and keep those videos coming. thank you very much.
HI Jamie and Roland, i tested out the recipe. The batter can certainly be use to coat another 15 pieces of prawn. i followed the recipe instruction and uses only 14 prawn. I cannot stop eating it once i start to test out the fritter and i find myself craving for more, however there is only 14 of them to go around for the family. I mixed the batter and kept in the fridge for about 1 hour and found out that the batter has somehow become more sticky and i have to add more water to it to create the smooth texture. i certainly uses more than 250 ml as per your recommendation. Well, I will certainly watch the other videos of your cooking and test out those recipe that i fancy. Thanks for the sharing once again.
Hi Roland, wish to try this tomorrow but I realise I don’t have self raising flour. Only all purpose plain flour. Can I use to replace self raising flour?
Fabulous! I will try this out. I should be asleep by now, but I subscribed after viewing one recipe. I'm still on my phone watching your videos and I am finding it hard to stop. Thanks for sharing such great recipes!
dear Jamie, for margarine..is it ok if to melt the margarine .. then mixed to the dry ingredient (self-raising flour MSG / chicken stock powder, bicarbonate of soda, rice flour n salt) ? thank you :D
If I pressed for time on new years eve, can I use ice cold water roland? Then use batter immediately and fry? Or still need to rest the batter in the fridge?
hi ive just made this recipe! it tastes wonderful but the outside batter is flatten instead of balooning like yours, do you know why? is it because i heated too little oil?
Was your baking soda old? Sometimes the self rising flour or baking soda gets to old and stale, it loses its rising power. Also, was your oil the right temperature? It can't be too cold, it should be HOT!
Tq for the receipe. I tried to fried it, in the earlier stage the batter so nicely shape. When it start to turn colour, the prawn break out n the batter collapse... What went wrong...pls advise. 🤭🤭🤭
Hi Spes. Thanks so much for watching our video. You can see the description box of this video for the list of ingredients used in this recipe. Happy cooking!
You know there are standard measuring cups sold in stores, marked with the ounces on them, so you will know? A standard measuring cup contains 8 ounces and you can get bigger ones for convenient, that are 2 cups size also smaller ones, that are just 4 oz, and 1/4 oz, etc. But 1 cup of anything always means 1 standard measuring cup, that is 8 ounces.
Million thanks your reply. I have tried this recipe and it's a huge success. I finally got a recipe that I can cook myself and the taste is even better than restaurants. Wish u all the best and tq for your reply 😊
Hi, I really enjoy your cooking sessions. But kinda wonder what type of oil do you use for deep frying, like the prawns and the prawn omelette? And can recommend me a good frying wok/pan cos I'm not sure which type to get . All my pans n wok will hv a layer of egg stuck to it when I fry scramble . Its a disaster!😔 Thank you..😊
Do you add oil when the wok is cold? Never do that. Always hot wok, cold oil, food won't stick. Make sure the wok is HOT before you add oil to it to cook anything.🧃🐙 good luck
I am perplexed by the addition of the butter/margarine. Could you explain the role it plays in the batter? Also, in this video, did you use butter or margarine?
Hi Dsf one. Sorry for our late reply. You can use vegetable oil, peanut oil or canola oil. Basically any oil that has high smoking point so that rules out olive oil. Hope this helps. Happy cooking!
It won't raise up puffy then. If you don't have self rising flour, you can make your own by adding 1 and 1/2 teaspoons of baking powder and 1/2 teaspoon salt to 1 cup of flour, that will work.
Would have loved to see a cross section of the final product ... whether the coating is thick or not so ... I guess I’ll have to try the recipe to find out.
Confused. 1) Is self raising flour just plain flour or corn flour? 2) what is rice flour? the supermarket might call them differently from what you mentioned so I want to be sure thx
You can make your own self rising flour by adding 1 and 1/2 teaspoon baking powder and 1/2 teaspoon salt to 1 cup of flour. That's regular all purpose (wheat) flour.
Rice flour is literally rice, ground to a powder. You can make it yourself if you have a good grinder or blender or spice mill. But you can also buy it easily in the store.
Thank you for this but I was directed to this page after looking for a recipe to cook deep fried prawn balls. I am confused as you state in your title "Crispy Shrimp Ball Recipe" but I cannot find any details. Even on your blog it is not listed. Btw I am referring to a ball of shrimps covered in small crispy pieces of bread.
Hi Jamie, greetzzz from The Netherlands. The 1 cup flour that you use, is that equal to 240ml/gram? Here we use a scale, so I am not that familiar with cups :-). Thanks for helping out.
You mentioned this batter can be used for onion rings. I tried but the batter cannot stick onto the onion rings. Can you create a video on onion rings? Tks
Hihi. Here are the possibilities: (1) your oil was too hot when you drop the prawns in (2) your prawns were too wet before you dab them in the batter (3) the batter is too runny. Maybe you can try to eliminate the above one by one - try cooking again. Happy cooking!
Thank you! It was my first time making it today. I peeled off the entire shell including to the tail and it was too late when I realised my mistake. The batter fell off the prawns and my family and I enjoyed crunching the batter and eating the prawns separately. It was quite hilarious.
Hehehehe. Thank you for sharing your funny story. That perked us up! 🤣🤣🤣 I love your attitude! 👍👍👍👍👍 next time, try making the batter thicker. It should help. Happy cooking again!!
An important detail you should indicate is that you have to ensure the prawns are as dry as possible, so the batter will stick. If not they will fall off after putting them in the oil.
This is the best shrimp fritter recipe I've tried in a long time. This was 5 years ago and this is my first time doing this recipe today 6 -22-2022 and I'm loving it. 💯+++++ Thank you!!!

Hi Kathryn. Here’s a remedy for you www.kingarthurbaking.com/blog/2015/09/09/substitute-self-rising-flour-purpose-flour
Easy to make your own. Put 1 and 1/2 teaspoon baking powder and 1/2 teaspoon salt in 1 cup of flour.

You can make your own by adding 1 and 1/2 teaspoons of baking powder to 1 cup of flour, with 1/2 teaspoon salt.
I'm going to use this recipe for fish, squid, prawns and scallops. It's a ripper, thanks mate!

You can make your own by adding 1 and 1/2 teaspoons of baking powder and 1/2 teaspoon salt to 1 cup of flour. That's the recipe for self rising flour.
Hi. Is there any other subsitute for chicken powder besides MSG? Or can I omit both? Thanks
May I know the self raising flour 1 cup = 120g?
Can I make this same batter for chicken for sweet and sour recipe?
If I pressed for time on new years eve, can I use ice cold water roland? Then use batter immediately and fry? Or still need to rest the batter in the fridge?
Yes, u can use cold water if no time to keep in fridge. It's the same result.
I tested out before. 😀
Thank you for this wonderful recipe,I made this for my guests for Christmas dinner and they loved it so much.
Awesome! Thank you so much too, Lucy for using our recipe. 🤓🤓🙏
Spice N' Pans d
Can I replace the flour with just tempura flour instead? I don’t have so many types of flour!
Yes you can but the outcome will be tempura prawns instead but it’s done in a totally different method
I used this batter for fish n chip. Dory fish fillet. Replace the bicarbonate soda with rootbeer.
Wow. Good call on the rootbeer. Solid! We made these prawn fritter for our family over CNY and they were snapped up within minutes. So yummy!
@@spicenpans How much rootbear to replace with bs, Thks
Yes, how much root-beer do I need the baking soda?
I would like to try it too - using root-beer instead of
baking soda.
Thanks for the recipe. I dont have rice flour, can i replace it with potato starch?
Omg they look so good!!!! I want them right now!! 😂😂
Hehe. Thank you so much, Erykah!
hi ive just made this recipe! it tastes wonderful but the outside batter is flatten instead of balooning like yours, do you know why? is it because i heated too little oil?
Was your baking soda old? Sometimes the self rising flour or baking soda gets to old and stale, it loses its rising power. Also, was your oil the right temperature? It can't be too cold, it should be HOT!
Thanks for the recipe Sir, I love it.
They are wonderful
Tried your recipe and it is yummy
Hi there, loving this. Was wondering if you can use air fryer to do this? Thanks!!

Any meat will work, as long as it's the same size.
thank you so much! will go beautifully with my chinese dinner tonite!
You’re most welcome, Sherry :-) Happy cooking!
May I know why need to put butter/majerin?
Hihi. To bind the mixture together and actually that’s also the secret ingredient. Use margarine. Highly recommended
Million thanks your reply. I have tried this recipe and it's a huge success. I finally got a recipe that I can cook myself and the taste is even better than restaurants. Wish u all the best and tq for your reply 😊
Why did you use MSG in the batter?
This is and amazing dish indeed ❤ can we use eggs in the batter?

Hihi Wino. We’re now using rice bran oil. Happy cooking!
Can this batter be used for chicken balls ?
Joshua Lee hi Joshua. Yes absolutely. For onion rings too.
Hi Chef. Can I use corn starch instead of rice flour?
Rice flour is used to make things very crispy, I have used cornstarch before, and it works, but the crispiness us a little different.
Use what type of flour????
What type of oil for frying is best
Hi Dsf one. Sorry for our late reply. You can use vegetable oil, peanut oil or canola oil. Basically any oil that has high smoking point so that rules out olive oil. Hope this helps. Happy cooking!
Can I replace self raising flour to all purpose flour?
It won't raise up puffy then. If you don't have self rising flour, you can make your own by adding 1 and 1/2 teaspoons of baking powder and 1/2 teaspoon salt to 1 cup of flour, that will work.
Hi Sir, what is self rising flour? 🙏
It's regular all purpose (wheat) flour, to which has been added 1 and 1/2 teaspoon of baking powder and 1/2 teaspoon salt.

Hihi. We’ve listed the ingredients in the description box of this video for your reference. Hope that helps. Happy cooking!
Self raising flour is plain flour with raising agent mixed in. Rice flour is made from rice. And no, it is sold in the supermarkets as stated.
You can make your own self rising flour by adding 1 and 1/2 teaspoon baking powder and 1/2 teaspoon salt to 1 cup of flour. That's regular all purpose (wheat) flour.

Mine did not turn out like yours, it kinda opened up and expose one side of the prawn, it did not like wrap around. What was the mistake I made?

Try using ice cold water and less mixing for an even crispier texture
Hi Noah. Yes you’re right. Alternatively, just put the batter in the fridge for 30 mins before using. Our batter always turn out super crispy 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
@@spicenpans thanks alot👌👌 will it form too much gluten if leave in the fridge too long
An important detail you should indicate is that you have to ensure the prawns are as dry as possible, so the batter will stick.
