Ingredients
- 500 g Prawns
- 100 g Almond flour
- 50 g Coconut flour
- 2 large Eggs
- 1 tsp Garlic powder
- 1 tsp Onion powder
- 1 tsp Paprika
- 0.5 tsp Salt
- 0.25 tsp Black pepper
- 80 ml Olive oil
- 4 Lemon wedges
Directions
Step 1
Begin by preparing the prawns. Peel and devein them, leaving the tail intact for easy handling.
Step 2
In a shallow bowl, combine the almond flour, coconut flour, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to ensure the spices are evenly distributed.
Step 3
In another bowl, beat the eggs until they are well combined.
Step 4
Dip each prawn into the beaten egg, ensuring it is completely coated.
Step 5
After coating with the egg, dredge the prawn in the flour mixture, pressing lightly to ensure the flour mixture adheres well. Set aside on a plate. Repeat this process with all the prawns.
Step 6
Heat the olive oil in a large non-stick frying pan over medium heat. Ensure the oil is hot before adding the prawns.
Step 7
Carefully place the prawns in the pan, making sure not to overcrowd them. You may need to cook in batches.
Step 8
Fry the prawns for about 2-4 minutes per side, or until they are golden brown and crispy. Adjust heat as necessary to avoid burning.
Step 9
Once cooked, remove the prawns from the pan and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to drain any excess oil.
Step 10
Serve the crispy prawns with lemon wedges on the side for squeezing over before eating. Enjoy them hot!
