Coconut Prawns image

From Australian House and Garden. A wine suggestion: a white wine with tropical fruit flavours eg a Sauvignon Blanc Semillon. I've also posted the dipping sauces.Prep and cooking times are guestimates only and probably on the longer side as I am really slow at deveining prawns!

Time 1h30m

Yield 6-8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 1/2 kg green king prawns, peeled with the tails left on
3/4 cup flour
1 pinch salt
1 tablespoon cornflour
1 tablespoon white vinegar
180 ml cold water
shredded coconut
2 tablespoons flour (extra)
vegetable oil (for deepfrying)

Steps:

  • Devein prawns and rinse quickly under cold running water, then flatten very slightly with the heel of your hand.
  • Refrigerate until needed.
  • Sift flour, salt and cornflour into a bowl.
  • Add vinegar and water and mix to a smooth batter.
  • Spread coconut on a flat plate.
  • Dust prawns lightly with extra flour, then dip into the batter.
  • Allow the excess to run off then coat with coconut.
  • Heat oil in a wok or deep frying pan and test for the correct temperature with one prawn (oil should not be too hot or the coconut will burn before the prawn cooks).
  • Cook prawns in batches and drain on paper towels.
  • Serve hot, accompanied with lime wedges and dipping sauces such as Yoghurt and Mint Sauce or Chilli Plum Sauce.
