- Over a medium flame, heat the olive oil in a medium frypan and then add the sliced onions. Salt and pepper them to taste, reduce flame to low and cook them slowly for 20-30 minutes until they turn a rich golden brown color. Reserve.
- Heat up some oil in a small saucepot to a 2-inch depth - for frying.
- Lay a sheet of egg roll skin down on a cutting board and cut out a 4"x4" square out of it. Carefully "paint" the entire surface of the piece with beaten egg.
- Next, lay a cleaned prawn down near the bottom of the piece, with the tail extending off the right edge.
- Place a quarter of the goat cheese along the length of the prawn meat and place a strip or two of the roasted red pepper on top of this.
- Next, place a small amount of the golden onions along the length of the meat.
- Finally, sprinkle some of the shredded basil and a pinch of salt and pepper on the mound.
- Fold the bottom flap of the egg roll skin up over the prawn and the left side flap of dough over the prawn end. Brush again with the beaten egg.
- Now roll the prawn up tightly and reserve.
- Repeat with the remaining three prawns
- Drop the strudels in 325° degree oil and fry for 2-3 minutes, or until they turn a light golden color. Remove, blot dry on a towel and serve hot.
