Coconut Crusted Prawns

Method

Coconut Crusted Prawns

  1. 1

    Prepare the Prawns

    Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C) or heat oil in a deep frying pan over medium heat.

  2. 2

    Set up Breading Station

    In three separate shallow dishes, place flour in the first dish, beaten eggs in the second, and a mixture of shredded coconut, panko breadcrumbs, salt, and pepper in the third.

  3. 3

    Bread the Prawns

    Dredge each prawn in flour, shaking off the excess. Dip into the beaten eggs, then coat thoroughly in the coconut mixture.

  4. 4

    Cook the Prawns

    If baking, place the breaded prawns on a lined baking sheet and spray lightly with cooking spray. Bake for 12-15 minutes or until golden and cooked through. If frying, carefully place the prawns in the hot oil and fry for about 2-3 minutes on each side until golden brown.

  5. 5

    Serve

    Serve the coconut crusted prawns hot with the curry aioli on the side for dipping.
