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.

Those prawns look good! I really like simple and tasty prawn dishes as well.
Thanks everyone, I’m blushing like the hue of tomato, haa! :XO:
Nate: Oh dear … prawns are like my fave seafood … I should consume less (in view of cholesterol and my allergy as well) :|
I’ve made shrimp a bunch of ways but never with ketchup–where have I been?! This looks and sounds delicious. I can’t wait to try it.
I love prawns/shrimp too, and these look fantastically simple and delicious!
I like prawns, too. And, would like to share with you my prawn recipes. Thanks!
Yum! I know them as shrimp. I thought that the two were different, though. I always learn something when I visit your blog!
This looks great. Ha! Loved how you managed to get two kinds of tomatoes into this month’s challenge. I don’t think anyone’s done a tomato shrimp recipe yet.
Looks delicious… I love ketchup… Cant wait to try this… Thanks for the detailed ingredents and instructions.
OMG, the pictures of the prawns just jumped off my computer! What a beautiful dish and great entry!
