Ingredients
- 1 pound large prawns, peeled and deveined
- 1 large egg
- 2 tablespoons coconut aminos
- 0.5 cup coconut flour
- 0.5 cup tapioca starch
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon sea salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.5 cup coconut oil
- 4 slices lime wedges
Directions
Step 1
In a large bowl, beat the egg and stir in the coconut aminos. This will be the wet mixture for the batter.
Step 2
In another bowl, combine the coconut flour, tapioca starch, garlic powder, paprika, sea salt, and black pepper. Mix well to make the dry mixture.
Step 3
Dip each prawn first in the egg mixture, ensuring it's well-coated, and then dredge it in the flour mixture, pressing lightly so the coating adheres.
Step 4
Place coated prawns on a plate and let sit for a few minutes to allow the batter to set.
Step 5
Heat coconut oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
Step 6
Once the oil is hot, add the prawns in batches, without overcrowding the pan. Fry each side for about 2-3 minutes until the prawns are golden brown and crispy.
Step 7
Remove the prawns from the skillet and drain on a paper towel-lined plate.
Step 8
Repeat with the remaining prawns, adding more coconut oil to the pan if needed.
Step 9
Serve the crispy battered prawns immediately with lime wedges on the side.
