FOODlog #403: Fried Prawn Fritter

I made this dish as prep for a taste test interview that I was going for. Its a new job that was presented with and I was to showcase my skills to land the job.

This was my plan for my appetizer which is a prawn fritter that's light and fluffy and packed full of prawns. But I didn't present this dish at the end as it was a little too simple for the brief. Still it was a delicious appetizer and a simple one to make which I did get some content out of this recipe, making a video of it as well as now writing this blog.

Below is the detailed ingredients and how many prawn fritters 1 batch makes. I did the hard work so you don't have to.
