Happy Wednesday guys! Recipe of the day is Coconut King Prawns – jumbo king prawns coated in crispy coconut layer.
I made a bowl of these goodies last week, as a part of surf and turf and all of us seemed to love them. They’re super quick and easy to make and so so tasty.
I served them with chilli fruity dip and a lime wedge. The kids enjoyed them on their own whilst we had quite a bit of the chilli dip. 🙂
I used fresh king prawns but frozen should work just fine.
What you need:
- king prawns
- flour
- an egg
- breadcrumbs
- desiccated coconut
- sunflower oil
Here’s how to make these Crispy Coconut King Prawns:
Ingredients:
- 330g raw king prawns
- 4tbsp breadcrumbs
- 1 egg, beaten
- 3tbsp flour
- 3tbsp desiccated coconut
- salt and pepper to taste
- sunflower oil for frying
Preparation:
- Combine the breadcrumbs, coconut, salt and pepper in a shallow plate. Dust some flour in a separate plate and the whisked egg in a bowl.
- Heat a frying pan with the oil, about 1/3 of the pan at least as you are going to deep fry the prawns.
- Coat them in the flour first, then dip them in the whisked egg and finally, coat them gently into the breadcrumb and coconut mixture.
- Deep fry them for 2-3 minutes on each side.
- Serve them with sweet chilli sauce or any sauce/dip of your choice. They’re delicious on their own too.
Enjoy!
I hope you guys love this recipe as much as we did. Stay tuned for more quick, easy and tasty recipes coming soon.
Next, I’ve got delicious knot buns with poppy seeds that are just divine. I literally took them out of the oven an hour ago and the tray is halfway empty. The little ones had them with butter and some veggies for lunch. I think freshly made bread is one of their favourite food recently.
Anyway, make sure to check the recipe for these lovely buns – they’re really simple to make and so so yummy.
Have an amazing Wednesday! xx
