Ingredients
- 500 grams Prawns
- 120 grams All-purpose flour
- 60 grams Cornstarch
- 5 grams Baking powder
- 2 grams Sodium-free baking soda
- 5 grams Ground black pepper
- 5 grams Garlic powder
- 5 grams Onion powder
- 5 grams Paprika
- 1 large Egg
- 240 milliliters Low sodium club soda
- 1 liter Vegetable oil
- 2 pieces Lemon wedges
- 10 grams Fresh parsley
Directions
Step 1
Peel and devein the prawns, leaving the tails intact. Rinse under cold water and pat dry with paper towels.
Step 2
In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, cornstarch, baking powder, sodium-free baking soda, ground black pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and paprika. Mix well.
Step 3
In a separate bowl, beat the egg and mix in the low sodium club soda.
Step 4
Gradually add the wet mixture into the dry ingredients while stirring. The batter should be slightly thick but liquid enough to coat the prawns evenly.
Step 5
Heat the vegetable oil in a deep frying pan or deep fryer to 180°C (355°F).
Step 6
Dip each prawn into the batter, ensuring it is fully coated, then carefully place into the hot oil.
Step 7
Fry the prawns in batches to avoid overcrowding the pan. Cook each batch for about 2-3 minutes, until the prawns are golden brown and crispy.
Step 8
Remove the prawns from the oil with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels.
Step 9
Before serving, garnish with fresh parsley and serve with lemon wedges on the side.
