Fried Prawns in Honey Citron Sauce 柚子密虾球
I’m using Yuja or Yuzu (柚子茶）again for the 3rd time. In my previous posts, I used Yuja/Yuzu to make Cheesecake (here) and Chiffon cake (here). Today is an easy Yuja/Yuzu recipe Fried Prawns in Honey Citron Sauce. If you’re looking to make something special to serve as appetizer or party food but don’t want to spend too long making it then you must try to make this tangy, sweet and little sourish dish to impress your guests.
Here is the recipe (adapted from Quick Dinner for 2 with slight modification)
300g Medium prawns
1/4 tsp Salt
1/2 tsp Ground pepper
2 tbsp Cornstarch
Honey Citron Sauce (mixed well)
3 tbsp Korean Honey Citron Tea (Yuja/Yuzu~柚子茶）
150ml Water
1/2 tbsp Sugar or add to taste
1 tsp Lemon juice or add to taste
1 tsp Cornstarch
Method:
- Shell the prawns and make a cut along each prawn’s back to remove the intestines. Rinse and pat dry. Season with 1/4 tsp salt and 1/2 tsp ground pepper for few minutes, add the same time mix the Honey Citron Sauce in a bowl and set aside.
- Coat the prawns in cornstarch, then heat a wok with some oil to heat the prawns to just cooked. Drain and set aside.
- Cook the sauce until thickened. Put the prawns back in and toss the fried prawns to coat with the sauce.
- Serve immediately.
Enjoy!
Here’s wishing all Chinese readers 端午节快！
Happy Duan Wu Jie (Chinese Dumpling Festival)!

Thanks Tamari 🙂 Thank you for visiting.
I'm posting a link to this on my Koreafornian cooking Facebook page. It is nice to see that I am not the only person out there obsessed with yujacha.
Lovely prawns with lemon, just perfect for summer! I must try them sometime soon.
Prawns, my favourite, think i can finish all at one go, kekeke…

@My Little Space
Kristy, this is tea paste. Use 1 tbsp of citron tea to stir 1 cup of hot water.
@neyeeloh
Esther, 真的值得买一瓶放在家里，没事泡一杯柚子茶来喝，也不错。
@Biren @ Roti n Rice

@ღᏓуռ էяɨռɨאღ
Hi..uuh..I always forgot your name..haha ..is Lil isn't it?
You can get the Citron Tea at the Korea Sunshine shop just next to the building of PH Bencoolen. I always walk into that shop when I visit PH. You must visit this shop that you can get most of the Korean ingredients there.
@LeQuan
Thanks LeQuan! I know seafood is your favorite.. So have your tried to make tea with Yuja before?
Ann, may I know do you use the tea paste or juice?
Thanks for sharing this wonderful flavour prawns.
Have a lovely evening. Btw, Happy Belated Dumpling festival to you.

Happy Dumpling Festival to you too Ann! Wish I had some dumplings though.
Your prawns in honey citron auce looks so fresh and inviting. I think I will have to triple your recipe to satisfy everyone 🙂
Almost like tangy sweet prawns! I like!

Hi Ann! This dish is so appetizing and a MUST TRY! 😀
Btw, where did you buy your Korean Citron Tea from?
Omg! You're killing me with this dish, Ann! I love prawns and love the flavours you have going on here. Beautiful presentation as well. I've never used Korean honey citron tea in my cooking before, how interesting. Happy Chinese dumpling festival to you, Ann!
Your prawns look simple and nice, yummy! Wishing you and your family Happy Dumpling Festival 🙂
@ICook4Fun
Happy Dumpling Festival to you too.
Yes this Citron tea is very refreshing and it is very good to drink warm especially in Winter but I still drink it almost every day..;DD
@muimui
Hi Muimui, I think use chicken thigh better than pork or fish and this is not pomergrante 石榴, it is more to pomela 柚子.
Anyway, did you receive my emails to you?
@Jo
Hey Jo! That's a brilliant idea too 🙂
@Nami @ Just One Cookbook
Thanks Nami. I love Yuja cha very much too!
@Joelyn~幸福の起点
Joelyn, 对啦。。放冰箱后，虾就会QQ的。
@Rosita Vargas
Thanks Rosita and your support 🙂
Thank you everyone for your lovely compliment.
Happy Dumpling festival to all 🙂
Happy Dumpling Festival to you!! Very nice look prawns. I have not heard of Koren Honey Citron Tea before. Do they taste citrusy?
Hi! Can i try this on meat like pork or chicken and fish as topping sauce. Coz my family cannot take seafood. I got a pomegranate tea and was wondering what to do with it.
What a delicious idea! Hmm I should make a vinegreatte with yuzu to pair with some crunchy deep fried prawns.
Omg, sooo inviting,impressive and highly addictive flavourful prawns..
Those prawns are so appealing! How not to salivate ….. slurp!!
I just bookmarked!!! I have all the ingredinets and I'll be making this very soon. I write this as I drink Yuja cha (it's at night here and caffeine free + vitamin boost for my recovering cold). You know how much I love this right? Hehehe.
I so love the prawns, it looks perfectly cooked. But I never get to make them because my husband is allergic 😛 ….Think I will have to satisfy myself seeing such pics…..
这算ｓａｌａｄ 虾吧。。好特别，甜甜的感觉。如果放冰箱之后再拿出来，应该很不错哦。。。
Looks really good, must be very tasty, right?
Love your presentation.
oh these prawns look so so good
Wow.. ..dish looks superb and awesome,very adorable,cariños y abrazos.
Happy Dumpling Festival to you!!!! Your Yuzu prawn look great! I love this type of refreshing taste, great party/finger food indeed :p
yummy looking shrimps
Happy Dumpling day to you. This dish with Yuzu is indeed very special. Very nice!
