Ours looked just like this

Some time back we enjoyed prawns encased in kafaiti pastry. There’s a name for them that I’ll hopefully remember before I end this.
Kafaiti pastry comes frozen – well, ours did – so you have to let it thaw thoroughly. Then you have to tease the hair-like threads apart before wrapping the prawns in the pastry. You also have to squeeze out all the moisture before deep-frying them.
Vince decided he wanted to make some which he did the other day. They’re a bit tricky to make, a bit fiddly but not all that difficult. We invited friends down to share these with us as nibbles with drinks, then we had pizza and played cards so it was a fun evening.
We forgot to take a photo but ours didn’t look much different to the picture on the packet. They taste as good as they look.

I’m with Daddy Evil…I’m allergic to shrimp so you’re going to have to eat my portion, please.
Glad it turned out so well!

@FourWalls @DaddyEvil I'm happy to eat both your shares. I hope I'm not gradually building up an allergy to it.

Oh, I'm sorry they tasted bad after all that work. 
(I'm teasing, of course. Just because I can't eat shrimp doesn't mean others shouldn't eat them.
)
I'm glad you had a nice get-together with your friends.

I've never heard of string pastry. I learned something new. I don't care for shrimp; but I'm glad they turned out well.
