Prawns & Eggs Dish Recipe

When we go out for a big family dinner, the children normally get to sit at their own table. The reason for this "practice" was never explained to us, but I suspect it has something to do with one of the following:

(A) The adult conversations are not suitable for children;
(B) The food served at the "grown up" table is not suitable for children (...price wise maybe?!?!)

From what I can remember, I think it was because of option (B). When the grown ups are having lobster, the kids table gets a Prawns & Eggs dish. Not that I am complaining, because it is actually one of my favorite dishes, the best thing is - it is easy to make.


Tasty and moist Prawns & Eggs Dish

Without further ado, here is the (not very detailed) recipe from my talented Uncle Herman:

Ingredients
Prawns (shelled)
Eggs
Cooking oil (not a lot)
Salt
Pepper

Garlic (ground)
Ginger (ground)
Coriander (optional)

Steps
(1) Heat the cooking oil in a frying pan, then add the garlic and ginger.
(2) Put the prawns into the frying pan and leave them until almost cooked.
(3) Add a pinch of salf and pepper to the prawns.
(4) Add the eggs into the frying pan
with the yolks still intact. **See picture below for clarification**
(5) Leave the eggs as they are in the frying pan until half cooked, then gently break up the yolks.

(5a) Add the coriander into the mix if desired.
(6) Stir quickly to mix the prawns and eggs together.
(7) Scoop all the contents onto a plate before the eggs are completely cooked. Serve hot with rice.

Step (4) Add eggs into the frying pan with the yolks still intact.

Give it a try and I am sure you will like it! Sweet?!

The ratio is a personal choice. In my case, the prawns had thawed, therefore, they needed to be eaten, so there you go..
