Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 g Raw prawns, peeled and deveined
- 50 g Almond flour
- 1 large Egg
- 2 stalks Green onions, finely chopped
- 2 cloves Garlic, minced
- 15 g Fresh coriander, chopped
- 15 ml Soy sauce
- 5 ml Sriracha
- 15 ml Lime juice
- 1 tsp Salt
- 0.5 tsp Black pepper
- 60 ml Avocado oil (or any high smoke point oil) for frying
Instructions
Chop the prawns finely or pulse them in a food processor until coarsely ground.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the prawns, almond flour, egg, green onions, minced garlic, and chopped coriander.
Add soy sauce, sriracha, lime juice, salt, and black pepper to the prawn mixture. Mix until all ingredients are well combined.
Form the mixture into small patties, about the size of your palm, and place them on a tray lined with parchment paper.
Heat the avocado oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium heat.
Once the oil is hot, carefully place prawn cakes into the skillet, avoiding overcrowding.
Cook each prawn cake for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and crispy.
Transfer the cooked prawn cakes onto a paper towel-lined plate to soak up any excess oil.
Serve immediately with a side of lime wedges or a low-carb dipping sauce of your choice.
