Geragao - a prawn fritter nyonya-style

Recently back in Melaka, we saw fishermen selling geragao or shrimp seedlings (very tiny ones) along the road to Klebang. My MIL had some in her freezer and I requested for a tasting: voila the results...

 The tiny shrimps are actually used for a fermented prawn condiment called Cencalut used in local cuisine. However, fresh geragao can be added into a simple flour mixture (liquid) and then be fried in oil like a fritter. It is usually eaten hot with chilli sauce. It has rather surprising flavour...
