- 100 grams almond flour
- 50 grams tapioca flour
- 50 grams unsweetened coconut flakes
- 30 grams coconut flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon sea salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoon cayenne pepper
- 2 large eggs

Directions
Step 1
Rinse the prawns under cold water and pat them dry with paper towels.
Step 2
In a large bowl, combine the almond flour, tapioca flour, coconut flour, coconut flakes, baking soda, salt, black pepper, and cayenne pepper. Mix well to combine.
Step 3
In another bowl, whisk together the eggs and coconut milk until smooth.
Step 4
Prepare a large plate lined with paper towels for draining excess oil from cooked prawns.
Step 5
In a large skillet or deep fryer, heat the coconut oil over medium-high heat until it reaches a temperature of 180°C (350°F).
Step 6
Dip each prawn into the egg mixture, allowing excess liquid to drip off. Then dredge it in the flour mixture, pressing lightly to adhere.
Step 7
Place the battered prawns carefully into the hot oil and fry in batches, avoiding overcrowding. Fry each side for about 2-3 minutes or until golden brown and crispy.
Step 8
Use a slotted spoon to transfer the cooked prawns to the prepared plate to drain excess oil.
Step 9
Repeat until all prawns are cooked.
Step 10
Serve the crispy battered prawns immediately with lemon wedges on the side.
