Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams large prawns, peeled and deveined
- 100 grams almond flour
- 50 grams parmesan cheese, finely grated
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 2 large eggs
- 250 milliliters avocado oil (or olive oil) for frying
- 1 whole lemon wedges for serving
- 2 tablespoons chopped parsley for garnish
Instructions
Rinse the prawns under cold water and pat them dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture.
In a shallow bowl, combine the almond flour, grated parmesan cheese, garlic powder, smoked paprika, black pepper, and salt. Mix well to ensure even seasoning.
In a separate bowl, beat the eggs, and set aside.
Heat the avocado oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. The oil should be hot but not smoking.
Dip each prawn into the beaten eggs, allowing excess egg to drip off, then coat it thoroughly in the almond flour mixture, ensuring it is well coated.
Carefully place the coated prawns into the hot oil. Do not overcrowd the pan; you may need to work in batches.
Fry the prawns for about 2-3 minutes on each side, or until they are golden brown and crispy. Be attentive, as cooking times may vary depending on the size of the prawns.
Remove the prawns from the pan and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to drain any excess oil.
Repeat the coating and frying process for any remaining prawns.
Garnish the crispy fried prawns with chopped parsley and serve immediately with lemon wedges on the side.
