Recipe adapted from Spoon,Fork, Bacon
Ingredients
- 400 grams raw prawns, peeled and cut into chunks
- 2 green onions, thinly sliced
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- Small bunch of Dhania (coriander) , chopped
- 1 ½cups water
- 1 ½ cups all purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 eggs
- 2/3 cup honey
- 2 Tablespoons chili sauce
- sea salt to taste
Instructions
Place shrimp, green onions and garlic into a large mixing bowl and toss together. Set Aside.
Pour water into medium pot and add butter and salt and bring to a boil. Once mixture has come to a boil, add flour and quickly stir with a wooden spoon, until dough forms. Continue to stir over medium heat, for about 3 minutes.
Place dough into a stand mixer fixed with a paddle attachment and run on medium speed, allowing steam to escape.Once most of the steam has disappeared add the egg, one at a time, scraping down the sides of the bowl after each addition. Fold in the pepper then the prawns until fully incorporated
Once oil is hot, add tablespoon sized balls of the shrimp mixture into the oil (you’ll have to do this in batches); make sure not to crowd the pan/fryer and fry each fritter for 4-6 minutes flipping halfway if necessary. Drain on a paper towel and season lightly with salt.
For the spicy honey drizzle
Combine the honey and the chilli sauce together in a bowl and serve

Do you have any idea what it feels like to live in the middle of nowhere?
Do you?
Like right smack in the middle of nowhere. As in there is Kakuma, then the next big towns are 2 hours away in either Lodwar or Lokichogio and even those are not really big towns. I don’t see how a place can be called a big town and they do not even have a supermarket. Lodwar does have one of those mini markets though!!
What does this mean???
- I have no decent place to shop for groceries and
- There are NO RESTAURANTS
That the nearest almost decent restaurant is about 2 hours away in Lokichogio. Now this is not one of those places you just hop into a matatu and go! You need to organize for transport with the office and get police escort to actually go there and spend a few hours then come back to “nowhere”. It’s really not interesting.
So…what is a girl to do when she feels like a fancyish restaurant meal? CIY 🙂 LOLS Cook It Yourself.
This is one of those meals that you find in those high end Nairobi restaurants, and you end up being charged a minimum of 800-1000ksh for! I believe this cost me like Ksh 200 maximum.
The Kyuk (Kikuyu) in me actually did the math; the T-bone steak costs about 380 per Kg I have mine sliced into about 8 pieces so that’s 48/=, the prawns cost around 700 for 500gms I used about 80 gms that’s 112 plus 1 potato 20/= that’s 180 plus 20/= for spices and oil. VERY ECONOMICAL, hehehhe.
Anywho this was a very tasty meal and healthy too if I am to say so myself. I felt like I was in a very fancy restaurant when I ate it so it’s great for when you want to eat out but are too lazy to leave your house and you will save tons of cash too and you can use that to buy a drink. I bet you will LOVE it. HAPPY COOKING!!!
NB: was a bit selfish this time only made a meal for one but you can multiply the ingredients if your serving more.
Ingredients
- 1 t-bone steak
- 2 teaspoons garlic
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- A handful of prawns
- A tablespoon of chopped dhania (coriander)
- 1 large potato cut into quarters
- ½ teaspoon rosemary Garlic salt or aromat or ground garlic (optional)
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
Mix 1 tablespoon olive oil, 1 teaspoon garlic, salt and pepper in a bowl. Apply this mixture evenly on the T-bone steak and marinate for at least 20 minutes (the longer the better.
Put water in a sufuria (pot) and add the rosemary, salt, ground garlic or garlic salt (if using aromat or garlic salt do not add the salt) and the potato and boil till the potato is cooked through but still firm.
Meanwhile, place the already marinated steak on a pan and cook too your liking,3-4 minutes on each side for rare-medium. Longer if you want it more cooked. Once cooked place on a plate and cover with foil to keep warm.
Wipe the pan down Put the remaining olive oil in the pan and once hot put in the garlic, cook for about a minute then add the prawns. Toss around the pan make sure they are all covered in the garlic oil. Cook for about 2 minutes till the prawns begin to turn pink Add the dhania, toss around for a minute and remove
To plate place the potatoes on one side and place the steak right next to them. Put the prawns on top of the steak. Take the oil remaining in the pan and drizzle over the potatoes.
OOOOH it will taste soooooo GOOD!! HAPPY EATING!!!

Prawn and Veggies Stir Fried Instant Noodles
I love 2 minute noodles. They are life savers. BUT I have not always enjoyed them I really did not understand the fascination until around 2006 when Delmonte (funny I know) produced a lemon grass flavour that I instantly fell in love with. I really used to eat them when I was in Daystar. Later on I kept eating them and discovered the chicken curry flavour, that’s all I can stand at the moment and I enjoyed it even more. I like how quick they are. 4 mins max and u have a meal on your table.
Well later I had a housemate called Kathure who liked adding veggies, especially broccoli (YUCK) and chicken to her noodles. I found that to be very interesting but never tried it till about a month ago. It was delicious. I first tried it with chicken and red and yellow peppers and mushrooms it was nice. Last week I decided to try prawns and add a few more veggies and the outcome was great. Now that Indomie is really trying to market itself maybe you can try this out. HAPPY COOKING!!
Ingredients
- 1 packet of 2 minute/ instant noddles ( I used indomie chicken curry)
- 150gms cocktail prawns or chicken breast
- 1 small onion, sliced
- ½ teaspoon garlic
- ¼ red pepper
- ¼ yellow pepper
- ¼ cup of sweet corn
- A handful of mushrooms (About 70gms)
- ½ teaspoons of cayenne pepper
- Oil for frying Small bunch of dhania (coriander)
Instructions
Boil the noodles according to package instructions.
As this boils add a drizzle of oil into a pan and add the onions, fry till soft then add the garlic. Fry till it starts to turn golden (if using chicken add the chicken at this point and cook for about 8mins)
Add the mushrooms and let them fry till they begin to turn color, then add the peppers and the corn till soft. Remove from the heat In the same pan add the prawns and cook for 2mins till they begin to turn pink.
By now the noodles have cooked, drain the water but leave just a little Add the noodles to the pan with the meat and veggies. Add the spices that come with the noodles and the dhania. Stir through and serve immediately. HAPPY EATING!!!
