My friend, Phat, did a much more intricate version of this for an exam we had at culinary school. He made wings out of rice paper and turned the prawns into dragonflies, but he does have a second degree in architecture! Ours is more of a metaphorical dragonfly, but just as tasty and equally impressive at a party where we’re mostly interested in eating them. Prawns are interchangeable with shrimp, but get a good sized one, like those that come 21 to 25 in a pound. Try to leave their tails attached as they made a nifty handle for the appetizer.
