Method:

1. Remove the shells from the prawns, except for the last little bit nearest the tail and the tail itself. Remove the dark ,veins from the back, and cut two shallow criss-cross cuts there to prevent the prawns from curving excessively when fried.

2. Sprinkle and rub the prawns with the, salt and wine. Leave to season for 15 minutes. Wet the prawn with the beaten egg, and coat with the flour.

3. Heat the oil in the deep-fryer. Drop the prawns in one by one and fry them over a low-medium heat for 3 1/2 minutes, or until the prawns are golden brown. Remove and drain.

4. Serve immediately, using the chili-soy mixture and the Aromatic Salt and Pepper Mix as dips.

Note: This dish also good to serve at Christmas or any other party.
