Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams Large prawns, peeled and deveined
- 120 grams All-purpose flour
- 60 grams Cornstarch
- 1 teaspoon Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Onion powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon Paprika
- 250 milliliters Club soda, chilled
- 500 milliliters Vegetable oil
Instructions
In a large bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, cornstarch, baking powder, garlic powder, onion powder, black pepper, and paprika. Mix well to ensure even distribution of the dry ingredients.
Gradually whisk in the chilled club soda into the dry mixture until you have a smooth batter. The batter should be thick enough to coat the back of a spoon. Add more club soda if the batter is too thick.
Heat the vegetable oil in a large, deep pan or wok over medium-high heat until it reaches 180°C (350°F). Use a thermometer to monitor the temperature for best results.
Pat the prawns dry with paper towels to ensure they are moisture-free. This will help the batter adhere better.
Dip each prawn into the batter, allowing any excess to drip off. Carefully place the battered prawns into the hot oil, frying in small batches to avoid overcrowding the pan.
Fry each batch for about 2-3 minutes or until the prawns are golden brown and crispy, turning occasionally with a slotted spoon.
Remove the prawns from the oil and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain any excess oil.
Serve the low sodium crispy battered prawns immediately with your favorite low sodium dipping sauce or a squeeze of fresh lemon for added flavor.
