Ingredients
- 500 grams Large prawns, peeled and deveined
- 1 cup Almond flour
- 0.25 cup Coconut flour
- 2 whole Eggs
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Onion powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Paprika
- 0.25 teaspoon Cayenne pepper
- 1 teaspoon Sea salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.5 cup Coconut oil
Directions
Step 1
In a shallow bowl or plate, combine the almond flour and coconut flour with garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, cayenne pepper, sea salt, and black pepper. Mix well to ensure an even distribution of spices.
Step 2
In another bowl, beat the eggs until smooth and set aside.
Step 3
Pat the prawns dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture, which helps the coating stick better.
Step 4
Dip each prawn into the beaten eggs, allowing any excess to drip off, then coat it well with the prepared flour mixture, pressing gently to ensure it adheres.
Step 5
Heat the coconut oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Ensure the oil is hot but not smoking, reaching approximately 350°F (175°C) for optimal frying.
Step 6
Working in batches, add coated prawns to the hot oil without overcrowding the skillet. Fry each side for about 2-3 minutes until golden brown and crispy.
Step 7
Use a slotted spoon to remove the prawns from the oil and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain any excess oil.
Step 8
Serve the crispy fried prawns immediately, with lemon wedges or a Paleo-friendly dipping sauce, if desired.
