Udang Bakar Butter

Hubby got a new hobby..and he just launched his long lost passion for fishing, but since last week he has been scouting at Equin Park shoplot looking for fresh prawn..it was not a wet market but a place for kaki pancing to lepak and mengail udang..the rate for one hour is RM15, they surely know how to make money yeah..?

Our simple menu ..not to spoilt the freshness of these prawn, we opted to just cut off the tail and part of its head and hot the pan, put some butter and let the prawn turn red..and served hot..and all of them gone during lunch ;-)
