Ingredients

• 16 pieces Large raw prawns (peeled, deveined, tails-on)
• 3 tablespoons Honey
• 2 tablespoons BBQ sauce
• 1 cup Almonds (finely chopped or ground)
• 1 cup Panko breadcrumbs
• 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon Smoked paprika
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil (or cooking spray)
• 2 pieces Lemon wedges (for garnish)
• 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley (chopped, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with olive oil or cooking spray.

Step 2

In a small bowl, mix the honey and BBQ sauce until smooth. Set aside for basting.

Step 3

In another medium-sized bowl, combine the finely chopped almonds, panko breadcrumbs, garlic powder, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper.

Step 4

Pat the prawns dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture.

Step 5

Dip each prawn into the honey-BBQ mixture, making sure to coat them evenly, then roll them in the almond-panko mixture to coat completely.

Step 6

Place the coated prawns on the prepared baking sheet, leaving space between each prawn for even cooking.

Step 7

Lightly drizzle the coated prawns with olive oil or spray them with cooking spray to help achieve a golden crust.

Step 8

Bake the prawns in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the coating is golden brown and the prawns are cooked through (they should be opaque and pink).

Step 9

Remove the prawns from the oven and transfer to a serving platter.

Step 10

Garnish with chopped fresh parsley and serve with lemon wedges on the side for a burst of freshness.
