Mmmm these were great! I was using green prawns that had been frozen and the water content looked high so I laid them flat in a Chinese scoop and gave them two hours in an oven with the door ajar (scoop handle) on the lowest temperature to remove the excess moisture. That left them with the slightly moist but sticky feel of fresh prawns and I think is really worthwhile when using frozen prawns.

These were very good and easy to make. I did have a problem but it wasn't a big deal. They were wet so i had to add more corn flour. They were still wet so i couldn't form balls. No big deal we made blobs. They puffed nice and shaped themselves into almost balls. They were very tasty anyway. We all loved them. The shape didn't matter to us. It doesn't change the great taste.
