Udang Masak Merah 香辣红番茄虾

This Udang Masak Merah ( Spicy tomato prawns) recipe was featured in Y3K magazine . And now i would like to record this recipe in my blog too.







I just modified from my old Ayam Masak Merah recipe into this Udang Masak Merah which i changed chicken to prawn. Love the gravy of this dish, a bit spicy, sour, savoury and sweet, can have more rice !
