Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams Large prawns, peeled and deveined
- 1 cup Almond flour
- 0.5 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
- 2 large Eggs
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Cayenne pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 cup Coconut oil
- 4 pieces Lemon wedges
- 0.5 cup Mayonnaise
- 1 tablespoon Sriracha sauce
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
Instructions
Rinse the prawns under cold water and pat dry with paper towels.
In a shallow bowl, combine the almond flour, grated Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, cayenne pepper, salt, and black pepper.
In another bowl, beat the eggs until well blended.
Dip each prawn first into the beaten eggs, allowing any excess to drip off.
Then dredge the prawns in the almond flour mixture, pressing gently to ensure a good coating.
In a large skillet, heat the coconut oil over medium-high heat.
Once the oil is hot, fry the prawns in batches, ensuring not to overcrowd the pan.
Cook each side for about 2-3 minutes or until golden brown and crispy.
Using a slotted spoon, transfer the cooked prawns to a plate lined with paper towels to drain any excess oil.
For the spicy mayo, mix the mayonnaise, Sriracha sauce, and lemon juice in a small bowl until well combined.
Serve the crispy fried prawns immediately with lemon wedges and spicy mayo on the side.
