Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 16 pieces Large raw prawns (peeled, deveined, tails-on)
- 3 tablespoons Honey
- 2 tablespoons BBQ sauce
- 1 cup Almonds (finely chopped or ground)
- 1 cup Panko breadcrumbs
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Smoked paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil (or cooking spray)
- 2 pieces Lemon wedges (for garnish)
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley (chopped, for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with olive oil or cooking spray.
In a small bowl, mix the honey and BBQ sauce until smooth. Set aside for basting.
In another medium-sized bowl, combine the finely chopped almonds, panko breadcrumbs, garlic powder, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper.
Pat the prawns dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture.
Dip each prawn into the honey-BBQ mixture, making sure to coat them evenly, then roll them in the almond-panko mixture to coat completely.
Place the coated prawns on the prepared baking sheet, leaving space between each prawn for even cooking.
Lightly drizzle the coated prawns with olive oil or spray them with cooking spray to help achieve a golden crust.
Bake the prawns in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the coating is golden brown and the prawns are cooked through (they should be opaque and pink).
Remove the prawns from the oven and transfer to a serving platter.
Garnish with chopped fresh parsley and serve with lemon wedges on the side for a burst of freshness.
