Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams raw prawns, peeled and deveined
- 100 grams almond flour
- 1 large egg, beaten
- 2 stalks green onions, finely chopped
- 1 teaspoon fresh ginger, grated
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon coconut aminos
- 1 teaspoon sesame oil
- 2 tablespoons coconut oil or avocado oil
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoon red chili flakes (optional)
Instructions
Start by chopping the raw prawns into a coarse paste. This can be done with a food processor or by hand. Transfer the prawn paste to a large mixing bowl.
Add the beaten egg, almond flour, green onions, ginger, garlic, coconut aminos, sesame oil, salt, and black pepper to the prawn paste. Mix everything thoroughly until well combined.
Heat the coconut oil or avocado oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium-high heat.
While the oil is heating, form the prawn mixture into small patties about 2 inches in diameter and 0.5 inches thick.
Once the oil is hot, carefully place the patties in the skillet, ensuring not to overcrowd the pan.
Cook each side for 3-4 minutes or until golden brown and crispy.
Remove the prawn cakes from the skillet and drain on a paper towel to remove excess oil.
Serve the keto crispy prawn cakes hot, optionally garnished with additional chopped green onions or a sprinkle of red chili flakes for some heat.
