Raw prawns can carry many different types of pathogens which can cause your dog to have a nasty bout of vomiting and diarrhoea. These can only be killed off via a thorough cooking process. As a result, you should be cautious with both raw and dried prawns. Farmed prawns are less likely to carry pathogens than wild prawns, as they are treated with chemicals and antibiotics frequently.

Ebi is also used to make shrimp broth, which, along with coconut milk, forms the soup base for mie celor. The ebi powder is also sometimes used as a topping for asinan or rujak.

One benefit of using chilli in the final stage of the process is that it adds colour to the dish, much like the chopped parsley that’s also popular. Parsley isn’t my favourite herb, though, and I only really enjoy it whizzed up in Camorra’s ajo y pereril marinade, where the fire of the garlic tames its peppery flavour, but other testers assure me that it adds a welcome touch of freshness to the dish, and I can see that it looks nice, so I’ve included it as an optional extra.Spring rolls are tasty because they have a variety of flavours and textures, and they're easy to make.
