Deep fried Spring Roll Prawns 炸虾春卷

Made this deep fried spring roll prawns the other day. I got the idea from a cooking show of placing a coriander leaf when wrapping the prawns with spring roll wrapper, you can see a hidden leaf after deep fried, look pretty!

This is so crispy and yummy while it is still hot..after cooled, not so crispy anymore, I guess anything fried foods you have to consume it while hot..
