Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams Large prawns, peeled and deveined
- 100 grams Gluten-free all-purpose flour
- 50 grams Cornstarch
- 1 teaspoon Baking powder
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Onion powder
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 200 milliliters Chilled sparkling water
- 1 liter Vegetable oil for frying
- 1 unit Fresh lemon wedges, for serving
Instructions
Rinse the prawns under cold water and pat them dry with paper towels. Ensure they are completely dry for a better crispy finish.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the gluten-free all-purpose flour, cornstarch, baking powder, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Stir to combine the dry ingredients well.
Gradually pour the chilled sparkling water into the dry mixture, whisking continuously until you have a smooth batter. The batter should have a consistency similar to pancake batter.
Heat the vegetable oil in a deep pan or pot over medium-high heat until it reaches 180°C (350°F). You can test the temperature with a kitchen thermometer, or by dropping a small amount of batter into the oil; it should sizzle and rise to the surface immediately.
Dip each prawn into the batter, ensuring it is well-coated, and let the excess batter drip off before gently placing it into the hot oil.
Fry the prawns in small batches to avoid overcrowding the pan. Cook them for about 3-4 minutes or until they turn golden brown and crisp.
Remove the prawns from the oil using a slotted spoon and drain them on a plate lined with paper towels to remove excess oil.
Repeat the battering and frying process until all the prawns are cooked.
Serve the gluten-free crispy prawns immediately with fresh lemon wedges on the side.
