Ingredients
- 500 grams Large prawns, peeled and deveined
- 100 grams Gluten-free all-purpose flour
- 50 grams Cornstarch
- 1 teaspoon Baking powder
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Onion powder
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 200 milliliters Chilled sparkling water
- 1 liter Vegetable oil for frying
- 1 unit Fresh lemon wedges, for serving
Directions
Step 1
Rinse the prawns under cold water and pat them dry with paper towels. Ensure they are completely dry for a better crispy finish.
Step 2
In a large mixing bowl, combine the gluten-free all-purpose flour, cornstarch, baking powder, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Stir to combine the dry ingredients well.
Step 3
Gradually pour the chilled sparkling water into the dry mixture, whisking continuously until you have a smooth batter. The batter should have a consistency similar to pancake batter.
Step 4
Heat the vegetable oil in a deep pan or pot over medium-high heat until it reaches 180°C (350°F). You can test the temperature with a kitchen thermometer, or by dropping a small amount of batter into the oil; it should sizzle and rise to the surface immediately.
Step 5
Dip each prawn into the batter, ensuring it is well-coated, and let the excess batter drip off before gently placing it into the hot oil.
Step 6
Fry the prawns in small batches to avoid overcrowding the pan. Cook them for about 3-4 minutes or until they turn golden brown and crisp.
Step 7
Remove the prawns from the oil using a slotted spoon and drain them on a plate lined with paper towels to remove excess oil.
Step 8
Repeat the battering and frying process until all the prawns are cooked.
Step 9
Serve the gluten-free crispy prawns immediately with fresh lemon wedges on the side.
