Ingredients
- 200 grams Raw prawns (peeled and deveined)
- 30 grams Coconut flour
- 2 large Egg whites
- 5 grams Unflavored gelatin powder
- 1 teaspoon Sesame oil
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Onion powder
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoons Ground white pepper
- 0.5 teaspoons Baking powder
- 500 milliliters Avocado or coconut oil (for frying)
Directions
Step 1
Place the raw prawns into a food processor and blend until a smooth paste forms.
Step 2
Transfer the prawn paste into a mixing bowl. Add coconut flour, egg whites, gelatin powder, sesame oil, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, white pepper, and baking powder.
Step 3
Mix thoroughly until a sticky and well-combined dough forms.
Step 4
On a piece of parchment paper, roll the dough into a log shape approximately 2 inches in diameter. Wrap the log tightly in parchment paper or cling film, twisting the ends to seal.
Step 5
Place the wrapped log into the freezer for 1-2 hours or until firm enough to slice easily.
Step 6
Preheat a deep fryer or a deep, heavy-bottomed skillet with avocado or coconut oil to 160°C (320°F).
Step 7
Once the dough is firm, slice it into thin rounds (about 2-3 mm thickness). Ensure the slices are even to ensure uniform cooking.
Step 8
Carefully drop the slices into the hot oil, frying them in small batches. Fry for about 30-45 seconds per side, or until the crackers puff up and turn golden brown.
Step 9
Remove the fried prawn crackers with a slotted spoon and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to drain any excess oil.
Step 10
Allow the crackers to cool slightly before serving. Enjoy your Keto Vietnamese Prawn Crackers as a savory snack or appetizer!
