Garlic Shrimps with Chili

First time I know about Donna Hay from my multiply friend, mbak Arfi (mbak is used for a more appropriate calling in Javanese) of Homemades who lives in New Zealand. I was trying to look up at the library and yayy I could find and borrow it. I'm still amazed with the pictures in that magazine. Lovely pictures.

While I was reading a tempting recipe "Garlic Prawns with Chili" in Donna Hay magazine, it reminded me of Balado Udang (Western Sumatran Style Chili Shrimp). A shrimp in Canada is a prawn in Australia. What did I modify from the original recipe? I added fried minced garlic at the end of the cooking process, just like Udang ala Bie Fong Tong aka Bie Fong Tong Style Breaded Shrimp.

Here, it is one of the recipe that I modified from Donna Hay magazine.
