Ingredients
- 500 grams large prawns, peeled and deveined
- 100 grams almond flour
- 50 grams coconut flour
- 2 units large eggs
- 50 grams unsweetened shredded coconut
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon sea salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 4 tablespoons coconut oil
- 4 slices fresh lemon wedges
Directions
Step 1
In a shallow bowl, combine the almond flour, coconut flour, shredded coconut, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, sea salt, and black pepper. Mix well to ensure even distribution of spices.
Step 2
In another bowl, whisk the eggs until they are well combined.
Step 3
Take each prawn and dip it into the egg mixture, allowing any excess to drip off.
Step 4
Coat the prawn in the flour and spice mixture, pressing gently to ensure the coating adheres well. Repeat with all prawns and place them on a plate.
Step 5
In a large frying pan, heat the coconut oil over medium-high heat. Ensure the oil is hot but not smoking.
Step 6
Carefully add the prawns to the frying pan, making sure not to overcrowd them. Cook for about 2-3 minutes on each side, or until they are golden brown and crispy.
Step 7
Once cooked, remove the prawns from the pan and transfer to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
Step 8
Serve the crispy prawns immediately with fresh lemon wedges on the side for squeezing over the top, if desired.
