What do they call this prawns in English ya?..Cant be 'Bamboo Prawns' right?..hehe..so can we call it big fresh water prawns?...bought and cooked this last week, when most of our Chinese friends were busy preparing their reunion dinner..haha...so when the Chinese busy shopping for their groceries, me also 'tumpang sekaki' ler..saw this udang galah uishhh..cant resist straight away buy, just closed one eye when I looked at the price per kilogram...

Thought of cooking the curry style like Ika, but the day before already cooked curry so I've decided on this sambal, which was suppose to be crabs...when Mr Hubby saw this..he, was gladddd..but said cannot always..high in cholesterol...
