Deep Fried Almond Prawns 香酥杏仁虾

I supposed to make this deep fry prawns during CNY, but keep delaying till now..Anyway never too late to make this, nice aroma from almond flakes and juicy prawns, and dipping with sweet chili sauce, not bad at all.

I decided to halve the large prawn, chop another half and mix with meat, then it was easy to wrap to make round shape.
