Certainly make life easier when doing a big batch. I dont think I could afford to fill it with muddies from the fish shop The family is still telling me how much they enjoyed your recipe. If you or Kez have any ideas for prawns let me know.

Dug out a few old photos of one of our Chilli Crab nights and thought Id share them. We used to do this pretty often over Xmas while camping in Brunswick Heads. Sorry no camp ovens in these folks Sad

Thanks Rory the recipe more than lived up to its reputation. I did it by 5. Did the frying in a Wok but then as it was a large quantity moved over to the aussie camp oven for the sauce part. I did reduce the oil at this point but x5 everything else and most could happily just have the sauce over the rice it was sooooo good. I even had one guest ask to take home the bit of left over sauce and some rice. Big thanks for sharing this.

There has been talk elsewhere about seasoning the bedourie and the aussie oven is made from the same material - dont think its possible to make it look "pretty" but I find it useful as its the deepest camp oven I have. Cheesy

Thanks SBB will give me more oil I am shuddering at how many batches I will have to fry. Its only part of the meal so its not your ration of 1 x 2. The nice man told me that it wouldnt harm the end result if he cracked and chopped them today but I have to do the legs etc only problem I havent looked but dont think I will have any nice big pieces of shell for display.

I usually double the amount of water, sugar, tomato sauce, sambal oelek, ginger, garlic and oil regardless of the size batch Im cooking . This also increases the amount of oil and makes the deep frying bit easier and faster.

I bought three muddies today which weigh about 5K between them. Should I use the recipe times 5??? or just double???
