Prawns fry | How to make prawn fry (royyala vepudu)

By swasthi , on July 29, 2019, 32 Comments, Jump to Recipe

Prawns fry recipe – a quick prawns stir fry made with simple and easily available ingredients. To make any seafood, we use very few spices or garam masala. This helps to retain the original flavor of the seafood otherwise it gets dominated by the masala.

This quick prawns fry can be made under 15 minutes excluding marination time. It goes good with plain rice or any flavored rice. You can even make a prawn ghee rice just with the addition of cooked rice and ghee.

I have used fresh black tiger prawns to make this stir fry. Any variety of prawns or shrimp can be used. You can use even the smaller variety of prawns.

How to make prawns fry or royyala vepudu

1. Devein and clean prawns. Rinse them thoroughly. To remove fishy smell, they can be rinsed in little vinegar. You can also use lemon juice and salt. If using frozen prawns, you will need to soak in hot water for a while. This will help to soften them. Drain off water completely. Add lemon juice and 1 tsp oil. Mix well.

2. Add ginger garlic paste,red chili powder, turmeric, garam masala and coriander powder as well. Mix and set aside for at least 30 minutes. You can refrigerate for over night in the fridge.

6. When they begin to swirl up, add curry leaves as well. Continue to fry again.

7. The prawns will swirl up completely. It means they are cooked thoroughly. Then add red chili powder and stir for just a minute. 1 tbsp fresh grated coconut can also be added at this stage. Stir fry until the coconut begin to smell good.

Hi Swasthi,

I was planning to make your prawns fry recipe, was wanting to keep them marinated overnight in refrigerator.
When they’ll be bought fresh from market, I might need around 2hrs or more to devein, wash & marinate them, as I might not be able to do this immediately.
Till then how to store them & keep them fresg.
Freezing without cleaning might increase the work.
Can they be kept at room temperature or refrigerator without being cleaned.

Please advise.

Hi Flavia,
I have kept a separate air tight container for this purpose. I keep the pack of meat as is in a fresh plastic bag. Then store that in the box and wrap another bag and keep it in a separate place in the fridge (not freezer) I clean and rinse them when I am ready to cook. If you marinate these overnight with lemon juice, they may turn mushy. I would suggest not to add any acidic ingredient to the seafoods if you intend to marinate them longer than 30 to 40 mins. Hope this helps.

Thank you so much for the detailed explanation Swasthi?..

What can be used instead of lemon juice for marination over 30-40mins or overnight, as I tend to keep fish marinated over an hour at times at room temperature before frying.
Will white vinegar be a good substitute?

Please asvise

I would suggest, skip the sour ingredient completely and squeeze in some lemon juice before serving.

seafood is more delicate so it happens. I leave chicken even for 24 hours in the marinade, it actually helps to keep it more moist.
