BATTERED PRAWNS

Great with coleslaw or a pasta salad! 

PREPARATION TIME: 15 minutes

COOKING TIME: 10 minutes

INGREDIENTS

500 g Raw, peeled prawns - tail still on

Beer batter (follow recipe for FISH NUGGETS)

Oil for deep frying

METHOD

Heat the oil.

Prepare the prawns by slicing into (not through) the back of the prawns to let the batter get into the flesh a little. Test the oil by dripping a drop of batter into the oil. It should sizzle, but not burn and bob to the top of the oil.

Holding the tail of a prawn, dredge it through the batter until all but the tail is covered, then drop into the oil. Quickly do the same for enough prawns to fill the pan but not stick together. Turn the prawns so that they cook evenly. They should only take 2 minutes to cook. Remove from the pan with a slotted spoon and drain on a paper towel. Cook any remaining prawns.
