Udang Masak Lemak Cili Padi

This is another of HB's favourite. Who can resist masak lemak? Not me... but don't serve this too often as it carries high cholesterol level ;-)

First, join 3 cloves of sliced shallots, 2 cloves of sliced garlic, 3-4 pounded lemon grass & 3-4 tbsp of bird eyes chilly paste ( a cup of bird eye chillies & half inch of fresh turmeric blended together - store in the freezer for later use) into a cooking pan.

Dilute a small amount (about a quarter) of coconut milk from a box. Pour into the pan & start fire.

In slow fire, keep stirring until almost boiling.

Add in the rest of the coconut milk with a little bit of water.

Do not leave the gravy unstirred.

Let simmer, add salt to taste. Next join in 300gm of prawns & also french beans.

Keep stirring. Lastly add in cut tomatoes.

Add more salt if needed.
