Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams Prawns
- 120 grams All-purpose flour
- 60 grams Cornstarch
- 5 grams Baking powder
- 2 grams Sodium-free baking soda
- 5 grams Ground black pepper
- 5 grams Garlic powder
- 5 grams Onion powder
- 5 grams Paprika
- 1 large Egg
- 240 milliliters Low sodium club soda
- 1 liter Vegetable oil
- 2 pieces Lemon wedges
- 10 grams Fresh parsley
Instructions
Peel and devein the prawns, leaving the tails intact. Rinse under cold water and pat dry with paper towels.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, cornstarch, baking powder, sodium-free baking soda, ground black pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and paprika. Mix well.
In a separate bowl, beat the egg and mix in the low sodium club soda.
Gradually add the wet mixture into the dry ingredients while stirring. The batter should be slightly thick but liquid enough to coat the prawns evenly.
Heat the vegetable oil in a deep frying pan or deep fryer to 180°C (355°F).
Dip each prawn into the batter, ensuring it is fully coated, then carefully place into the hot oil.
Fry the prawns in batches to avoid overcrowding the pan. Cook each batch for about 2-3 minutes, until the prawns are golden brown and crispy.
Remove the prawns from the oil with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels.
Before serving, garnish with fresh parsley and serve with lemon wedges on the side.
