📝 Ingredients:
- 500g (1 lb) large prawns, peeled and deveined (tails on)
- 1 tsp salt
- ½ tsp black pepper
- 1 tsp garlic paste or minced garlic
- 1 tsp lemon juice
- 1 egg
- 3 tbsp all-purpose flour
- 2 tbsp cornflour (cornstarch)
- 1 cup breadcrumbs or panko for coating
- Oil for deep frying
👨🍳 Instructions:
1. Marinate the prawns:
In a bowl, mix prawns with salt, pepper, garlic, and lemon juice. Let marinate for 10–15 minutes to enhance flavor.
2. Prepare the batter:
In another bowl, whisk the egg, then add flour and cornflour. Mix into a smooth, thick batter. If needed, add 1–2 tbsp water to adjust consistency.
3. Coat the prawns:
Dip each prawn into the batter, then roll in breadcrumbs or panko until fully coated. Press gently to ensure the coating sticks.
4. Fry to golden perfection:
Heat oil in a deep frying pan over medium-high heat. Fry the prawns in batches until golden brown and crispy, about 2–3 minutes per side. Drain on paper towels.
5. Serve immediately:
Serve hot with sweet chili sauce, garlic mayo, or lemon wedges.
