Ingredients
Small freshwater shrimp 150 g
Sesbania flowers 150 g
Glutinous rice flour 20 g
Rice flour 50 g
Eggs 1 piece
Water 120 ml
Shallots 1 piece
Garlic 1 bulb
Chili 2 piece
Lime 1 piece
Seasonings: seasoning powder, pepper, fish sauce, sugar, cooking oil 1 portion
Implementation Steps
01
Prepare the ingredients
Wash the shrimp and drain. A little tip: soak the shrimp in rice-rinsing water to remove mud and reduce the fishy smell.

Discard any bruised or wilted sesbania flowers, then rinse 2–3 times in clean water and drain in a colander.

Finely mince the chili, shallots and garlic and set aside.
02
Make the sweet and sour fish sauce
For a delicious bowl of sweet and sour fish sauce, first finely mince the garlic and chili. Then put 1 tablespoon fish sauce, 1 tablespoon sugar and 1/2 spoon lime juice in a small bowl. Mix well and you'll have a tasty, tangy and spicy dipping sauce.
03
Prepare the batter
Put the rice flour and glutinous rice flour in a bowl, then add 1 egg, 120 ml water, 1/2 teaspoon seasoning powder and 1/2 teaspoon pepper. Mix well. Add 150 g sesbania flowers, 150 g shrimp and a little shallot and mix again so everything is well combined.
04
Fry the shrimp and sesbania flowers
Heat enough cooking oil in a pan. When the oil is hot, add the mixture and fry, turning so it doesn't burn on one side while the other stays raw.
05
The finished dish
With just 20 minutes of prep and 10 minutes of cooking, you have an irresistible plate of fried shrimp with sesbania flowers. The sweet, rich shrimp and fragrant, crispy flowers will make anyone want to dig in right away.
06
Enjoy
Fried shrimp with sesbania flowers is the perfect choice for cold days. Dipped in the tangy, sweet and spicy fish sauce, it has a flavour like no other. It's even better with a plate of fresh herbs and rice paper, which adds fibre and keeps it from feeling too heavy.
