Prawn Noodle

For these few months, I have been accumulating prawns shells and freeze it for cooking prawn noodle broth.  Today finally decided to try out the recipe from pengskitchen.blogspot.com but as my family is small, I did not use 1kg of prawns. I scaled down certain ingredient quantity as I used 500g of prawns.
