These are my Crunchy Coconut Prawns, you take the raw prawn and coat it in a breadcrumb and coconut mix, and then fry. Sweet, crunchy and so tasty!
You can serve them on their own like this with a dipping sauce, otherwise they make a fabulous addition to a Mexican Rice Bowl or in Tacos.
In regards to the prawn tails, you can leave them on when having the prawns like this but when serving as a taco etc it makes for nicer eating experience to take them off.
Ingredients
– Prawns, peeled, deveined and tails removed *see notes
– Flour, white is best but wholemeal is fine too
– Salt and pepper
– Eggs
– Shredded coconut
– Panko breadcrumbs
– Oil for frying, I like to use vegetable or canola
– To serve -dips and lemon or lime wedges

- ½ cup flour
- Salt and pepper
- 2 eggs
- 1 cup of shredded coconut
- 1 cup of panko breadcrumbs

Instructions
-
Pat dry the prawns with a paper towel.
-
Place the flour on a plate and season well
-

-
Take another plate and put the breadcrumbs and coconut on it and mix to combine.
-
Take the prawns and toss in flour, then dip in the egg and finish in the coconut mixture.
-
My tip for crumbing is to use one hand so you have one clean hand in case you need a hand to do something.
-
Once prawns are crumbed.
-
Place an inch of oil in your Biroix Dutch oven on a medium to high heat.
-
Fry the prawns in the oil on both sides until golden. They cook very quickly.
-
Once cooked, place on a paper towel and you can keep warm in a warm oven, until you have fried all the prawns.
-
Season the prawns and serve with dips and fresh citrus.
