Tang Hoon Prawn (Glass Vermicelli)冬粉虾

Tang Hoon冬粉 is also called glass vermicelli noodle that is common in Asia countries. The one that I am using is made from green bean. You can cook into tang hoon soup or fried tang hoon. 
This Tang Hoon prawn recipe that I am sharing with you here is one of  my mum-in-law's signature dish . It is easy to cook and nice to eat. This is also a common dish found in the Thai restaurant. Usually it is cooked with crab. But my brilliant mum-in-law replaced it with prawn. She usually cook the prawn with the shell. As the prawn with shell will be more juicy and tang hoon soak with the juice from the seafood also tastier. However, I have choose to remove shell before cook as it is easier for my children.
