Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 g Prawns
- 100 g Almond flour
- 50 g Coconut flour
- 2 large Eggs
- 1 tsp Garlic powder
- 1 tsp Onion powder
- 1 tsp Paprika
- 0.5 tsp Salt
- 0.25 tsp Black pepper
- 80 ml Olive oil
- 4 Lemon wedges
Instructions
Begin by preparing the prawns. Peel and devein them, leaving the tail intact for easy handling.
In a shallow bowl, combine the almond flour, coconut flour, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to ensure the spices are evenly distributed.
In another bowl, beat the eggs until they are well combined.
Dip each prawn into the beaten egg, ensuring it is completely coated.
After coating with the egg, dredge the prawn in the flour mixture, pressing lightly to ensure the flour mixture adheres well. Set aside on a plate. Repeat this process with all the prawns.
Heat the olive oil in a large non-stick frying pan over medium heat. Ensure the oil is hot before adding the prawns.
Carefully place the prawns in the pan, making sure not to overcrowd them. You may need to cook in batches.
Fry the prawns for about 2-4 minutes per side, or until they are golden brown and crispy. Adjust heat as necessary to avoid burning.
Once cooked, remove the prawns from the pan and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to drain any excess oil.
Serve the crispy prawns with lemon wedges on the side for squeezing over before eating. Enjoy them hot!
