Ingredients
- 500 grams large prawns, peeled and deveined
- 1 cup almond flour
- 0.25 cup coconut flour
- 0.75 cup unsweetened sparkling water
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 cup olive oil, for frying
- 2 units lemon wedges
Directions
Step 1
Rinse the peeled and deveined prawns under cold water and pat them dry with paper towels.
Step 2
In a medium-sized bowl, combine almond flour, coconut flour, baking powder, paprika, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix the dry ingredients thoroughly.
Step 3
Gradually add unsweetened sparkling water to the dry mixture, stirring continuously until a smooth batter forms. The batter should be thick enough to coat the prawns, yet smooth to pour.
Step 4
Heat the olive oil in a large frying pan over medium-high heat. Ensure the oil is hot before adding prawns to achieve a crispy batter.
Step 5
Dip each prawn individually into the batter, allowing any excess to drip off before carefully placing them into the hot oil.
Step 6
Fry the prawns in batches, making sure not to overcrowd the pan, for about 2-3 minutes on each side, or until the batter is golden and crispy.
Step 7
Once cooked, remove the prawns from the oil using a slotted spoon and transfer them to a plate lined with paper towels to drain any excess oil.
Step 8
Serve the crispy battered prawns hot, garnished with lemon wedges for a fresh, tangy flavor.
