Lemak Nenas Udang (Prawns in Malay Coconut Broth with Sliced Pineapples)


Lemak Nenas Udang. A new homey Malay dish for Connie, who found it a tad hard to understand because it is not a curry. My mom usually makes this with fresh blue crabs (instead of prawns). Without a doubt, the crab version tastes better because crab cooks longer - allowing its juice to blend with the rest of the ingredients. Prawns cook very quickly so it was hard to get the flavors out without overcooking. Ingredients: prawns, pineapple, tumeric powder, lemongrass, shallots, garlic, chilli paste, belacan, coconut milk, sugar and salt to taste. Jemput makan.
