Step-by-step directions
1- Beat the egg yolk.
2- Cut each brick sheet into 4 pieces.
3- Peel the prawns. Remove the black intestine using a pointed knife. Salt and add piri-piri or pepper. Place them on 1/4 of a brick sheet.
4- Using a brush, coat the edges of the brick sheet. Fold it in half. Then fold the edges over.
5- In a large pan, heat 5 tablespoons of olive oil.
6- Place your prawns. When they are golden brown, place them on absorbent paper to remove excess oil.
7- Serve hot or lukewarm with ketchup mayonnaise.
Enjoy.
Chef Patrick's Comment
Good summer recipe, personally I pan-fry my prawn tails for 10 seconds in very hot olive oil to seal the flesh and get a firmer texture in the mouth.
