Ingredients

• 500 grams Prawns
• 100 grams All-purpose flour
• 50 grams Cornstarch
• 1 teaspoon Baking powder
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Paprika
• 2 large Eggs
• 50 ml Water
• 500 ml Vegetable oil

Directions

Step 1

Peel and devein the prawns, leaving the tails intact. Rinse them under cold water and pat dry with paper towels.

Step 2

In a medium mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, cornstarch, baking powder, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and paprika. Mix well to evenly distribute the seasoning.

Step 3

In another bowl, beat the eggs with water until well combined.

Step 4

Heat the vegetable oil in a deep frying pan or wok over medium-high heat until it reaches 180°C (350°F).

Step 5

Dip each prawn into the beaten egg mixture, ensuring it is well-coated. Allow any excess egg to drip off.

Step 6

Dredge the prawn in the flour mixture, pressing down lightly to ensure an even coating. Shake off any excess flour.

Step 7

Carefully add the coated prawns into the hot oil in small batches to avoid overcrowding. Fry each batch for 2-3 minutes or until golden brown and crispy. Adjust the heat if necessary to maintain the temperature.

Step 8

Using a slotted spoon, remove the fried prawns and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.

Step 9

Serve the crispy prawns hot with your choice of dipping sauce or a squeeze of fresh lemon juice.
