Instructions
Rinse the prawns under cold water and pat them dry with paper towels.
In a large bowl, whisk together the egg whites until frothy. Add the prawns and lemon juice, then toss to coat the prawns evenly.

Once the oil is hot, add the prawns in a single layer. Do not overcrowd the pan; cook in batches if necessary.
Fry the prawns for 2-3 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and crispy.
Remove the prawns from the skillet and drain on a paper towel-lined plate to remove any excess oil.
