Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 250 grams raw prawns, peeled and deveined
- 4 stalks green onions, finely chopped
- 100 grams all-purpose flour
- 50 grams cornstarch
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 large egg
- 120 milliliters cold soda water
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 500 milliliters vegetable oil, for frying
- 2 pieces ripe avocados
- 1 tablespoon lime juice
- 0.25 teaspoon chili flakes (optional)
- 1 tablespoon fresh cilantro, chopped (optional)
Instructions
Roughly chop the prawns into small pieces and set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, cornstarch, baking powder, salt, and black pepper.
Add the egg, soda water, and minced garlic to the dry ingredients, and whisk until you achieve a smooth batter.
Fold in the chopped prawns and green onions until evenly distributed.
Heat the vegetable oil in a deep frying pan or heavy-bottomed pot over medium-high heat until it reaches 180°C (350°F).
Using a spoon or small ice cream scoop, drop spoonfuls of the batter into the hot oil, ensuring not to overcrowd the pan.
Fry the fritters for 2–3 minutes per side or until golden brown and cooked through. Remove with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels.
While the fritters are frying, prepare the avocado. Scoop the avocados into a bowl, add lime juice, and mash with a fork until smooth. Mix in the chili flakes and cilantro, if desired.
Serve the warm fritters with a generous dollop of smashed avocado on the side. Enjoy immediately!
