Ingredients

  • 330g raw large king prawns (deveined) This equals around 24 large prawns
  • 60g plain flour
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 tablespoon ground ginger
  • ½ teaspoon onion granules
  • ½ teaspoon garlic granules
  • 85ml - 95ml sparkling water
  • 70g panko breadcrumbs
  • 1 teaspoon dried crushed chilli
  • Sunflower oil for cooking
  • Parsley chopped for garnish
  • Sweet chilli sauce for dipping

Instructions

  • In a bowl, add and whisk together the flour, salt, black pepper, ground ginger, onion granules, and garlic granules. Pour in the water and whisk to a smooth batter. In another bowl, add and whisk the panko breadcrumbs and crushed chilli.
  • Take 1 prawn, dip it in the batter until fully coated then dip it into the breadcrumbs ensuring it is well coated and place on a plate or baking tray. Repeat the process with all the prawns until they are all used up. Allow the prawns to rest at room temperature for 10 minutes.
  • While they are resting, place a heavy duty pan on a medium heat and pour in the cooking oil. When the oil reaches around 160oC, carefully place as many prawns as you can into the pan but ensure there is a little space between the prawns so they are not crammed in. Cook for 2 minutes, turning halfway through if necessary. Remove the prawns and place them on a plate or tray lined with kitchen paper towels. Repeat this process until all your prawns are cooked.
