Ingredients
- 500 grams large prawns, peeled and deveined
- 100 grams cornstarch
- 100 grams all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 250 milliliters cold sparkling water
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon ground paprika
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 500 milliliters vegetable oil (for frying)
- 1 whole lemon wedges, for serving
Directions
Step 1
First, prepare the prawns by ensuring they are peeled and deveined. Pat them dry with a paper towel to remove excess moisture.
Step 2
In a mixing bowl, combine the cornstarch, all-purpose flour, and baking powder. Whisk these dry ingredients together.
Step 3
Add garlic powder, ground paprika, salt, and ground black pepper to the dry mixture and stir until evenly distributed.
Step 4
Gradually pour the cold sparkling water into the dry ingredients, stirring continuously to create a smooth batter. It should have a consistency similar to pancake batter.
Step 5
Heat the vegetable oil in a large deep frying pan or pot over medium-high heat. The oil should be around 180°C (350°F) for optimal frying.
Step 6
Dip each prawn into the batter, ensuring it's completely coated, then carefully place it into the hot oil.
Step 7
Fry the prawns in batches, making sure not to overcrowd the pan, for about 3-4 minutes until they are golden brown and cooked through.
Step 8
Use a slotted spoon to remove the prawns from the oil and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain any excess oil.
Step 9
Serve the Dairy-Free Crispy Prawns immediately with lemon wedges on the side for added zest.
