Ketchup Prawns
First posted in 2008. Updated with improved recipe in Dec 2018.
This ketchup prawns (番茄蝦) is my family’s trusted and loved recipe for decades. The prawns (shrimps) are cooked in a home-made ketchup sauce that is sweet, mildly hot and tangy at the same time. We often eat an extra serving of rice just to clean out the delicious gravy.

This dish looks fab straight from the pan. If you love this dish, also check out my mum’s Chinese tomato sauce, which is a great accompaniment to Chinese pork chops.

I like this dish too! Yours looks better than restaurant :D
Ketchup gets sneaked into cooking alot, eh? I think a splash of Worcestershire would go nice here.
Yummy, I love ketchup prawns that my mum used to cook. Add some onions, perfect! Lovely orange hue. :-)
Yum, I love prawns! Any and every which way :)

This is an authentic home-cooked food :D

Oh, yum! I love the idea!
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…
hehe. I wouldnt be able to resist adding chili padi in there. But that looks great!!
