Ingredients
- 500 grams raw prawns, peeled and deveined
- 100 grams almond flour
- 1 large egg, beaten
- 2 stalks green onions, finely chopped
- 1 teaspoon fresh ginger, grated
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon coconut aminos
- 1 teaspoon sesame oil
- 2 tablespoons coconut oil or avocado oil
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoon red chili flakes (optional)
Directions
Step 1
Start by chopping the raw prawns into a coarse paste. This can be done with a food processor or by hand. Transfer the prawn paste to a large mixing bowl.
Step 2
Add the beaten egg, almond flour, green onions, ginger, garlic, coconut aminos, sesame oil, salt, and black pepper to the prawn paste. Mix everything thoroughly until well combined.
Step 3
Heat the coconut oil or avocado oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium-high heat.
Step 4
While the oil is heating, form the prawn mixture into small patties about 2 inches in diameter and 0.5 inches thick.
Step 5
Once the oil is hot, carefully place the patties in the skillet, ensuring not to overcrowd the pan.
Step 6
Cook each side for 3-4 minutes or until golden brown and crispy.
Step 7
Remove the prawn cakes from the skillet and drain on a paper towel to remove excess oil.
Step 8
Serve the keto crispy prawn cakes hot, optionally garnished with additional chopped green onions or a sprinkle of red chili flakes for some heat.
