A delicious dish prepared from mantis Prawns mix into a gravy made from shallots, sauces, white vinegar, scallions and white pepper. They're also delicious, with sweet, tender meat that, unfortunately, isn't easy to extract from the shell. Mantis prawns cooked in tangy 'kung pao' or 'kung pou' sauce is a popular dish on the menu in Chinese restaurants in Malaysia and Singapore. The slight tinge of sourness in the sauce makes it superbly delectable and appetizing.
