Tempura Prawns

Aussie_Ang's Note:

These are good if you are having friends over for a drink.. Best cooked straight away. They are great served with sweet chili sauce, or a garlic sauce. Are great for a main meal.

Made this recipe as indicated, & served it with a purchased sweet chili sauce, which was very good! Another time, though, I'd like to make the sauce from one of the handful of recipes here on Zaar! Thanks much for the VERY, VERY TASTY PRAWNS, & a recipe worth keeping! [Tagged, made & reviewed for one of my adopted Joeys in the Aus/NZ Special Recipe Swap #19]
