Heating the Oil
In a deep frying pan or pot, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat until it reaches 180°C (350°F). You can test the oil by dropping a small amount of batter into it; it should sizzle and rise to the surface.

Coating the Prawns
Dip each marinated prawn into the ale batter, ensuring they are fully coated.

Frying
Carefully place the coated prawns into the hot oil in batches, making sure not to overcrowd the pan. Fry for 3-4 minutes or until golden brown and crispy.

Draining
Remove the fried prawns with a slotted spoon and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil.
