Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams large prawns, peeled and deveined
- 100 grams almond flour
- 50 grams coconut flour
- 2 units large eggs
- 50 grams unsweetened shredded coconut
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon sea salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 4 tablespoons coconut oil
- 4 slices fresh lemon wedges
Instructions
In a shallow bowl, combine the almond flour, coconut flour, shredded coconut, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, sea salt, and black pepper. Mix well to ensure even distribution of spices.
In another bowl, whisk the eggs until they are well combined.
Take each prawn and dip it into the egg mixture, allowing any excess to drip off.
Coat the prawn in the flour and spice mixture, pressing gently to ensure the coating adheres well. Repeat with all prawns and place them on a plate.
In a large frying pan, heat the coconut oil over medium-high heat. Ensure the oil is hot but not smoking.
Carefully add the prawns to the frying pan, making sure not to overcrowd them. Cook for about 2-3 minutes on each side, or until they are golden brown and crispy.
Once cooked, remove the prawns from the pan and transfer to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
Serve the crispy prawns immediately with fresh lemon wedges on the side for squeezing over the top, if desired.
