奶油虾 or a.k.a "lai yao har" = Butter Shrimp is a popular Cantonese dish in Malaysia.This dish is one of my favorite shrimp or prawn main dish.My version of this "lai yao har" is slightly different because I didn't use grated coconut.Somehow, I like this simple version..

2 lbs of large shrimp with head on,cut off the feelers and 1/2 inch of the head,clean
2 eggs,beaten
2 sprig curry leaves,leave only

1 tbsp soy sauce
1 tbsp Chinese cooking wine
1 tbsp sugar
3-4 Thai's chili,cut fine
4-5 tbsp corn flour
3 cloves garlic,peeled and minced
1/2 cup corn oil
Method:
1:Heat wok with oil at high heat.Season clean shrimp with salt and ground pepper, then coat with corn flour.Fry coated shrimp in the hot oil for 5-6 minutes or 3/4 cooked.
