Deep Fried Prawns with Salted egg yolk

I took four homemade salted eggs out from the fridge after kept it for 10days to making this dish, deep fried prawns coated with salted egg yolk. This dish also can be served in Chinese New Year Re-union dinner..

What to do with the leftover salted egg white? I use it to steam with minced pork, another simple and yummy steamed egg dish..
