These deep fried prawns went down a treat recently, we were actually fighting over the last couple in the bowl. These are a naughty treat, and certainly not something one would have every day, but every once in a while, one needs a treat. These are the perfect starter, or canapé with drinks.
Serves 4 for a starter
Ingredients
- 16 prawns, raw and shelled and deveined
- 2 eggs, beaten in a bowl
- 1 cup of cornflour, laid on a plate, seasoned with salt & pepper
- ½ cup desiccated coconut flakes
- ½ cup of panko breadcrumbs
- Salt & pepper
To serve: leafy greens and sweet chilli sauce
Method
- Heat up your deep fryer to 180 degrees
- Get an assembly line going, with the cornflour, the eggs and the coconut bread crumbs in a row.
- Dredge each prawn in the cornflour, tap the excess off, then add to the egg, tapping the excess again.
- Finally, place in the crumb bowl, and press in the coating.
- Lay on a plate until ready to deep fry.
- Then fry in the deep fryer for 4 minutes.
- Drain on kitchen paper
- Place 4 prawns per person on a plate of decorative greens, with a wedge of lemon and some sweet chilli sauce.
Tip:If you are unable to find panko, toast stale bread and then whizz it into breadcrumbs.
