Although the terms ‘prawns’ and shrimp’ are often used interchangeably, there is a distinction to be made. Shrimps have smaller legs and claws, while prawns have a gill structure and larger legs and claws. Prawns are also called giant shrimps in some areas. However, the name is frequently different depending on where you are.

To demonstrate how adaptable this item is, we’ve compiled a list of prawn recipes from some of the best Indian and foreign chefs. Here’s everything you need, from coconut-y fried prawns to the long-time favourite prawn balchao.

1. Kerala Fried Prawns

Kerala Fried Prawns is a wonderful snack recipe made with prawns, chilli powder, black pepper, lemon juice, and curry leaves that can be readily cooked at home. This delectable delicacy can be offered at any type of gathering, such as a buffet, game night, or a kitten party. This simple meal takes about 20 minutes to prepare and will wow your visitors with its flavour! This recipe has a hint of South Indian flavour thanks to the curry leaves and coconut oil! It will delight your taste buds with every bite.

This recipe brings the ‘land down under’ to life, with its delicious seafood and exotic spices. Spluttering mustard seeds, crackling curry leaves, turmeric, hot chillies, and a splash of lemon combine to make juicy prawns grilled crisp in coconut oil.

2. Pomfret Fish

Pomfret Fry is a tasty fish fry recipe that involves marinating the fish in a spicy sauce created from a few simple spices. Make sure you cut the fish before adding the paste since the masala will permeate easier into the fish if you do so.

Kashmiri Red Chillies are utilised because they add a lovely red colour to the paste without making it overly hot. Black pepper powder and garam masala powder add mild spice to the mix. The paste is then applied to the fish, which is subsequently fried in hot oil until the exterior layer browns. This crisp-on-the-outside, moist-on-the-inside fish can also be served as a beginning for weekend dinners.

3. Spicy Prawns with Sweet Dipping

Crispy prawns with a sweet chilli dip are really delectable. They make a beautiful Chinese dish with crunchy prawns coated in a coconut coating with a dusting of sesame seeds, as well as a sweet chilli dipping sauce for dunking.

With onions, chillies, and white wine, tiger prawns are tossed. This prawn recipe, served with a sweet orange marmalade sauce, is everything you might want for an appetiser at a dinner party. This quick and easy prawn meal only takes a little more than half an hour to prepare.

4. Spicy Sriracha Prawns with Basil

For those of you who can’t get enough spicy cuisine, here’s something special. Green chilli, sriracha chilli sauce, fish sauce, soft basil leaves, and crunchy onions are cooked with de-shelled prawns.

You must first prepare this delectable dish. In a wok, heat the oil and cook the garlic and chillies. Stir in the prawns and cook for a few minutes. Combine the oyster sauce, fish sauce, and sriracha in a mixing bowl. Cook until the prawns are completely covered with sauce. If it’s too dry, a little water can be added. Toss in the basil leaves and then . Serve with spring onion leaves and lemon juice.

5. Chingri Macher Malaikari Recipe

Prawn Malai Curry is a popular Bengali curry that is often referred to as ‘Chingri Macher Malaikari’ by most Bengalis. Nothing makes this Bengali cook happier than using fresh ingredients. Keeping a safe distance from India has its drawbacks, but living in a global city like Philadelphia has its benefits as well.

When it comes to chingri macher malaikari, Bengalis are firm believers that the size of the prawn is crucial. Depending on how much you like your prawn heads, both Golda chingri (giant freshwater prawns) and Bagda chingri (tiger prawns) are ideal for this recipe. However, any chef would tell you that the best malai curry calls for medium-sized freshwater prawns since the gigantic heads of Golda chingri give this classic Bengali dish an unrivalled depth. Another thing to keep in mind is that the proportions of bay leaves, green cardamom, and ghee in this recipe should not be changed. Heavy cream can be used if desired.

6. Prawn Curry

Curry with prawns from India. This prawn curry is one of my all-time favourites because it’s so simple to make and tastes so good. It has a superb flavour thanks to the aromatic spices, and the prawns are cooked to perfection in the delightful sauce. Serve this aromatic curry over fluffy rice or with your favourite classic flatbread for a quick and easy supper perfect for the cooler months.

A bowl of plain white rice will never taste as good as it would with prawn curry. 5-6 garlic cloves, onions, coconut, and coriander seeds should all be ground into a fine paste. Add water and dump the prawns until they are fully cooked.
