ABOUT Mongolian Prawns RECIPE

This is an easy and delicious recipe for Mongolian shrimp. Mongolian shrimp is a Chinese dish that is both spicy and sweet. The spice in this recipe comes from crushed Red Chilli Paste, so you can adjust the amount to your taste. The shrimp can either be stir-fried in the pan or cooked in the deep fryer. I prefer to use the deep fryer because it leaves the shrimp nice and crispy. The sauce in this recipe is very easy to prepare and consists of soy sauce, water, and malt vinegar. Garlic and ginger is added into the mixture to give this dish even more delicious flavor. This Mongolian shrimp recipe goes great served with egg rolls and brown or white rice. Enjoy !
