Golden Prawn Rolls with Mango Salsa 黄金香芒虾卷

* in collaboration with San Remo for Durum Wheat Semolina

Who doesn't like a prawns and mango combo? My husband loves these Golden Prawn Rolls with Mango Salsa 黄金香芒虾卷. He told me it feels a little like the Indian Prawn Vadai, but less the heavy spice flavours (he prefers it this way). The prawn heads and tails are also deep fried till golden crispy and can be eaten crackling. The prawn rolls goes well with the sweet and sour mango salsa with the added tanginess from the onions. 

Actually, I'd all along used semolina for fresh pasta making due to its coarse texture. I was pleasantly surprised when using San Remo Durum Wheat Semolina for this pastry skin as a smooth texture dough was achieved. And check out how well the pastry skin reacted to deep frying - with the beautiful 'bubbling' on the surface!
