Ingredients
| Quantity | Ingredient | |
|---|---|---|
| 2 | Cloves garlic; minced | |
| 6 | White peppercorns; crushed | |
| 1 | teaspoon | Finely chopped fresh cilantro roots, small strings discarded |
| 1 | tablespoon | Thai Fish Sauce (see recipe; see Note) |
| 24 | larges | Shrimp; partially peeled (tails left on) and deveined (see Video) |
| 12 | Wonton skins (3 1/2 inches square), cut in half crosswise | |
| ½ | cup | Peanut oil |
| ¼ | cup | Sweet Garlic Sauce and/or Indonesian Soy Sauce (see recipe) |
Directions
1. Combine the garlic, peppercorns, cilantro, and fish sauce in a bowl. Add the shrimp, toss well, and set aside to marinate for 15 minutes. Drain the shrimp.
2. Wrap a wonton skin around the center of each, so that the tip and the tail are exposed. Dip your finger in a little water and dampen the open edge slightly to seal.
3. Heat the peanut oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the prawn rolls, 6 at a time, and fry 1 minute on each side, until nicely golden.
Drain on a paper towel and repeat with the remaining prawn rolls. Serve immediately with one or both of the sauces for dipping.
Makes 24 prawn rolls
Note: If you'd rather buy fish sauce, it is available in Asian grocery stores or Asian sections of supermarkets.

Serving Ideas : Prawn Rolls
NOTES : Simple to prepare and delicious tasting, these prawns (shrimp) are marinated for just 15 minutes in an aromatic blend of garlic, cilantro roots, white pepper, and fish sauce. I've wrapped just the middle of the prawns in wonton skins and let the tails show through decoratively. Serve hot and crisp as an hors d'oeuvre with small bowls of Sweet Garlic Sauce and Indonesian Soy Sauce alongside for dipping. Have a tiny plate at hand for the tails.
