Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 12 pieces large prawns, peeled and deveined
- 1 cup almond flour
- 0.5 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
- 1 large egg
- 2 tablespoons heavy cream
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.5 cup coconut oil or avocado oil
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped
Instructions
In a shallow dish, mix together almond flour, Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper.
In another small bowl, whisk the egg and heavy cream together until well combined.
Dip each prawn into the egg mixture, allowing excess to drip off, then coat with the almond flour mixture, pressing gently to adhere.
In a large skillet, heat coconut oil over medium-high heat until shimmering.
Add the coated prawns in a single layer and cook on each side for 2-3 minutes until golden and crispy. Remove the prawns from the skillet and set aside on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
In another small pan, melt butter over medium heat. Add minced garlic and cook for 1 minute until fragrant.
Stir in lemon juice and parsley, then pour the garlic butter into a small serving dish.
Serve the crispy prawns hot with the garlic butter dip on the side.
