Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams large prawns, peeled and deveined
- 1 cup almond flour
- 0.25 cup coconut flour
- 0.75 cup unsweetened sparkling water
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 cup olive oil, for frying
- 2 units lemon wedges
Instructions
Rinse the peeled and deveined prawns under cold water and pat them dry with paper towels.
In a medium-sized bowl, combine almond flour, coconut flour, baking powder, paprika, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix the dry ingredients thoroughly.
Gradually add unsweetened sparkling water to the dry mixture, stirring continuously until a smooth batter forms. The batter should be thick enough to coat the prawns, yet smooth to pour.
Heat the olive oil in a large frying pan over medium-high heat. Ensure the oil is hot before adding prawns to achieve a crispy batter.
Dip each prawn individually into the batter, allowing any excess to drip off before carefully placing them into the hot oil.
Fry the prawns in batches, making sure not to overcrowd the pan, for about 2-3 minutes on each side, or until the batter is golden and crispy.
Once cooked, remove the prawns from the oil using a slotted spoon and transfer them to a plate lined with paper towels to drain any excess oil.
Serve the crispy battered prawns hot, garnished with lemon wedges for a fresh, tangy flavor.
