[QUOTE="Yorksman, post: 607109, member: 55568"] You can often tell how a chinese restaurant marks up it's dishes pricewise. They buy their Vietnamese frozen king prawns from wholesalers for around £7.50 per Kg. A bag may have between 55 and 75 depending on brand/size. A mean salt and pepper king prawn dish might only have 5 and cost about £7.50. I see 8 at £5.50 as normal. One trick, to make the prawns look bigger, is to batter and deep fry them. Some double batter them. Properly done, they have a very fine dusting or corn starch. They are just salt and pepper dusted with cornflour and quickly fried with chives, spring onion and chopped chillis. For a diabetic, they should look more like this: [IMG]http://www.redlanternchinesetakeaway.co.uk/images/king%20prawn%20inblack%20pepper.JPG[/IMG] and not like this: [IMG]http://www.redlanternchinesetakeaway.co.uk/images/king%20prawn.JPG[/IMG] [/QUOTE]
