Ketchup Prawns

July 28, 2008 – 8:06 pm by wiffy

I love love love prawns (or better known as shrimps in some parts of the world.). This dish - combining ketchup, tomatoes and prawns - is such an easy, fuss free and yummy way of cooking prawns. :XO:

Ketchup Prawns

Ingredients
(Serves 2)

10 large prawns (shrimps), shells & veins removed (I leave the tails intact)
1/2 tbsp vegetable/olive oil
1/2 tbsp chopped garlic
1/4 cup of ketchup, mixed with 25 ml of water
1 chilli, deseeded and cut to long strips (add more if you want it spicier)
1 small tomato, cut to small chucks

Directions

1. Heat oil in wok and fry garlic & chilli till fragrant.
2. Add prawns and fry till they are almost cooked.
3. Add the ketchup solution and stir evenly till the paste bubbles. Serve with warm rice.

Note: You can stir in a beaten egg to cook at step 3 if you like.

  3. Ketchup gets sneaked into cooking alot, eh? I think a splash of Worcestershire would go nice here.

  10. We love prawns too but don’t eat it too much nowadays. We feel bad about the environmental damage the shrimp fishing and farming does.

    Of course, every now and then, we do a dish that must use prawns. So we feel bad eating it, but not sooo bad…

    Katie: In Singapore, we tend to refer to shrimps as the smaller prawns. But I noticed that in the western countries, people refer to what we call ‘prawns’ as shrimps :?: -> confused look :P

    WC: Thanks! Actually I wasn’t sure if ketchup counted as ‘tomato’ in the strictest sense, so I added tomato chunks :|

    WORC: Thanks … you are so kind :-)

  23. I just tried this recipe on Fri.
    Gosh, it’s really nice and I think it tastes like Chilli Crab. Especially with the egg beaten in.
    Thanks for the great recipe!
