Sri Lankan devilled prawns
Jump to Recipe·Print Recipe

Being a Sri Lankan I love seafood. If you are a seafood lover, then let me introduce you to this authentic recipe for Sri Lankan devilled prawns.

This recipe is so quick to make, and it’s incredibly easy, you’re are going to wonder why you’ve never discovered this before. Probably because it’s so good we Sri Lankans don’t want to give our secrets away!

Sri Lankan food is going mainstream

Sri Lankan food is gaining in popularity, it’s moving out of the suburbs from local communities and becoming mainstream. Dishes like this are going to be seen everywhere. And, I’m giving you the inside track on how to make authentic Sri Lankan devilled prawns.

Sri Lankan devilled prawns, a family recipe

The thing about any devilled dish, prawns, chicken pork – it’s about getting the balance right between the heat, the sweetness and the sourness. There’s a sweet spot that makes this recipe sing – once you hit that note, you’re going to be addicted.

I’ve tried a number of variations of this recipe, to get my deviled prawns the way my dad would make them. And, I think I may have cracked it. This is pretty much how I remember my Dad making his devilled prawns.

I really love this dish. It’s one of my all-time favourites, it’s demanding to be shared, and I’m confident you’re going to love it too.

My tips for making this authentic recipe for Sri Lankan devilled prawns

  1. The prawns
    For the best results, use fresh prawns. And if you can try and find either king prawns or tiger prawns. I’ll leave it to you to decide if you want heads and shells on or off – I guess it just depends on how messy you want to get! (Me – I’m happy getting messy with my devilled prawns!)
  2. The sauces
    I’ve tried this recipe with soy sauce on its own, with Worcestershire sauce on its own. I’ve found the best combination is to have both – I just love the cheek sucking tang it delivers. The important thing is that you have both of these sauces in your recipe.
  3. Vinegar
    Yes, another essential ingredient, again adds the necessary acidity to this dish. The vinegar unites the heat from the chillies with the sweetness of the sugar. My preference is apple cider vinegar, but red wine vinegar works well too.
  4. Sugar
    You can’t have a decent devilled dish without a little sugar. That’s all I’m going to say on the matter.
  5. Onions
    This is what makes this dish, the onions. I use red onions, and I cook them till they are dark and almost caramelised. This dish doesn’t have much in the way of sauce or gravy, it’s the onions that give the sticky quality to this dish.
  6. Tomatoes
    You will find some recipes that recommend tomato ketchup, for me, this is too sweet. I find a few cherry tomatoes hit the right level of sweet piquancy.
  7. Chilli
    Yes devilled prawn is a spicy dish, but the chilli heat shouldn’t outweigh the sweet and sourness of this dish – there’s a balance to be had. And pure heat, that’s just unpleasant. Adjust this to your taste – not keen on heat, leave out the chilli powder and deseed your chilli – that will keep the heat levels manageable.

Ingredients

Scale

 

  • 2 tbs coconut oil / vegetable oil
  • 1 large red onion sliced into half moons
  • 4 cloves of garlic peeled and finely chopped 
  • 2 cm of ginger peeled and finely chopped
  • 1 red chilli, cut lengthways (deseeded if you want to reduce the heat)
  • 1 tsp chilli powder
  • 1 tsp paprika
  • 1/4 tsp turmeric 
  • 5 cherry tomatoes, sliced / 1 tomato roughly chopped
  • 1 tbs of apple cider vinegar
  • 1 tbs soy sauce
  • 1 tbs Worcester sauce
  • 1 tsp sugar
  • 500g of prawns, ideally fresh with heads and legs taken off
  • Salt

Instructions

1. Heat the oil in a large wok or frying pan

2. Add the onions and start to cook them, when they soften add the garlic, ginger and chilli. 

3. Now add the dry spices with the tomatoes and quickly stir these into the onions allow the onions to cook down well but they should not burn. If you think the ingredients are looking like they’re drying out, add a splash of water.

4. In quick succession add the vinegar, soy sauce, Worcestershire sauce and sugar – followed by the prawns

5. Stir fry the prawns until they are cooked, and the onions are looking caramelised. Any liquid should be cooked down until a sticky sauce coats the prawns, add a little salt to lift the flavour.

6. Serve hot – with rice, or simply as an appetiser.

7. This is perfect with a bottle of Sri Lankan Lion Beer

    Delicious! Didn’t have shell on prawns and used honey instead of sugar. So much nicer than the recipes using ketchup!

      Thank you! It’s a family recipe, and yes so much better than the ones that use ketchup. Great tip about the honey!

These 'beans' look like something out of a fairy t These 'beans' look like something out of a fairy tale. I mean what are they? If I throw them into the garden will I have a giant beanstalk outside my house tomorrow?​​​​​​​​
​​​​​​​​
No,​​​​​​​​
​​​​​​​​
These are in fact Jackfruit seeds, which can, once the pearl-like casing has been scraped, reveal a dark-marbled, chestnut-coloured seed that once prepared can be made into a curry.​​​​​​​​
​​​​​​​​
I first tasted jack seed curry at my aunt's house in Madras. I'd never heard of this before. I remember loving it, scraping every last morsel off my plate.​​​​​​​​
​​​​​​​​
When I returned to England, my Dad tried to recreate it, but it wasn't the same. Life carried on and I forgot about this curry.​​​​​​​​
​​​​​​​​
Until recently when I was in my local Indian grocery store. ​​​​​​​​
In Tooting, I am lucky to have quite a few to choose from. This is where I found these jackfruit seeds. And the distant memories of that fabled jackfruit seed curry came back.​​​​​​​​
​​​​​​​​
This has set me off on a mission to create a recipe to cook with these seeds. ​​​​​​​​
​​​​​​​​
I've been looking at wet coconut milk-based curries and dry curries like thoran, a South Indian stir-fried vegetable curry with spices and coconut.​​​​​​​​
​​​​​​​​
Either way, I know it will be delicious!​​​​​​​​

A while back we had lunch at @bardouro a small  Portuguese tapas bar tucked away down the road away from the hoipolloi  of Borough Market. ​​​​​​​​

We perched on our seats, ate our way through salt cod fritters, the juiciest of prawns, melt in your mouth ox cheeks. ​​​​​​​​

The food was fabulous, but what stole the show was the beautiful blue and white tiles, which for the duration of my meal, had me believing I was in Lisbon, not cold frosty London.​​​​​​​​

If like me you have the latest best-selling Sri La If like me you have the latest best-selling Sri Lankan cookbook Rambutan by the fantastic @cynthia.uma you'll know how this chap is feeling...I mean who can't wait for her soon-to-be restaurant in Borough to open?​​​​​​​​
​​​​​​​​
The last few years have been great for the Sri Lankan food scene. ​​​​​​​​
​​​​​​​​
With a slew of upmarket restaurants opening, street food stalls popping up across the country, and supper clubs where you can sample good, honest, authentic home-style cooking. ​​​​​​​​
​​​​​​​​
This is a far cry from when I was growing up. If you wanted to dine out on Sri Lankan food, you had to travel to the ends of the tube line to find little cafes run by the Sri Lankan diaspora. The food was always and still is great. ​​​​​​​​
​​​​​​​​
But now....Sri Lankan food is almost mainstream, and that's got to be a good thing!​​​​​​​​
​​​​​​​​
Good luck @cynthia.uma I'm rooting for you! And wishing you the best of luck with this amazing venture! ​​​​​​​​
