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.
