Prawns with Mayonnaise and Sriracha Sauce
This dish is inspired by Japanese prawn tempura. Instead of using tempura batter, I use breadcrumbs. To make it healthier, I choose to bake the prawns instead of deep frying them.
Adding sriracha to mayonnaise enhance the taste. The sauce was creamy with a hint of spice.

1. 300g prawns (about 18 prawns)
2. 1/4 tsp salt and pepper
