Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams Prawns
- 100 grams All-purpose flour
- 50 grams Cornstarch
- 1 teaspoon Baking powder
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Paprika
- 2 large Eggs
- 50 ml Water
- 500 ml Vegetable oil
Instructions
Peel and devein the prawns, leaving the tails intact. Rinse them under cold water and pat dry with paper towels.
In a medium mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, cornstarch, baking powder, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and paprika. Mix well to evenly distribute the seasoning.
In another bowl, beat the eggs with water until well combined.
Heat the vegetable oil in a deep frying pan or wok over medium-high heat until it reaches 180°C (350°F).
Dip each prawn into the beaten egg mixture, ensuring it is well-coated. Allow any excess egg to drip off.
Dredge the prawn in the flour mixture, pressing down lightly to ensure an even coating. Shake off any excess flour.
Carefully add the coated prawns into the hot oil in small batches to avoid overcrowding. Fry each batch for 2-3 minutes or until golden brown and crispy. Adjust the heat if necessary to maintain the temperature.
Using a slotted spoon, remove the fried prawns and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
Serve the crispy prawns hot with your choice of dipping sauce or a squeeze of fresh lemon juice.
