A perfect finger food for a cocktail party! The delicate taste of prawns goes so well with this sweet-spicy-tangy pineapple dip. You can also give it a twist by wrapping each prawn along with onion rings, lettuce and the pineapple dip, in an egg wrap.
This dish evolved. :) It started with just the prawns and the dip. Not wanting to waste the egg wash, I made a thin crepe omelet and the left over flour to make onion rings. And it all started looking like a nice colorful appetizer - prawns with eggs, onion ring and the dip, all in a single wrap!

Making the crispy prawns:
Prawns – deshelled and deveined
Corn flour – 2 Tbsp
All purpose flour – 2 Tbsp
Baking soda – 1/8 tsp
Salt
Black pepper powder– ¼ tsp
Chili flakes – ¼ tsp
Egg – 1 no.
Oil
- In a bowl mix the corn flour, all purpose flour, baking soda, salt, pepper and chili flakes.
- Break an egg in another bowl and whisk it well.
- Now dip the prawn in the egg wash and lightly dust it in the mixture of dry ingredients prepared in the previous step.
- In a pan, add 2 tbsp of oil/olive oil and fry on medium-high flame till golden brown (it can be deep fired but I avoid it to keep it healthy)
- Serve hot.
Pineapple crush – ½ Cup
Orange Juice – ½ Cup
Lemon Juice – 1 Tbsp
Sugar – ¼ Cup (adjust to taste)
Salt – pinch
Cornstarch – 1 Tbsp
Birds eye red chili – deseeded and sliced
Butter – 1 tsp
- Combine in large mixing bowl cup of orange juice, lemon juice, crushed pineapple, pinch of salt, and sugar. Mix well
- In a sauce pan, add butter, saute cornflour till light brown. Add ¼ cup of water, pineapple mixture from previous step to saucepan and bring to a boil, stirring constantly. Let simmer for about 5 minutes while continuing to stir mixture. When you get a dipping sauce consistency, transfer to a bowl to avoid cooking any further.
**Lightly dust onions rings in the remaining flour mixture and fry in the same pan in which prawns were fried with the remaining oil. (add a Tbsp if all oil is consumed already)
