About the recipe

                   Prawn fry recipe or royyala vepudu is a shallow stir fry simple dish with the basic spices and it's an instant dish that can be made in few minutes. But, the most important point in making a prawn recipe is cleaning and deveining the prawns.

Freshness of the prawns:

• Prawns too are seafood like fish and it cannot sustain for a long time if kept at room temperatures. They perish soon and they start smelling with bad odour if stored at room temperature.
• Consume them fresh by cooking them or store the cleaned prawns at an extremely cold temperature such as deep freezers in the fridge which help keep the uncooked prawns remain fresh for at least 3-4 days without break in the power supply.
• Consume prawns as soon as cooked as they can last only for few hours to room temperature and the cooked prawns begin to smell as time passes and the reason is they cannot withstand the room temperature.

The prawn recipes don't require lots of time and are quite simple dishes. There are lots of videos available on the procedure to clean prawns.

• Sometimes, prawns with shells can be difficult to clean but there are many sources available online that direct on the procedure for removing the shells and cleaning prawns.
