Cooking Instructions
Prepare the Batter
In a large bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, cornstarch, baking powder, salt, and black pepper.
Add Beer
Gradually pour in the beer, whisking until the batter is smooth and slightly thick. Let it sit for about 15 minutes.
Heat the Oil
In a deep frying pan or pot, heat the oil over medium-high heat until it reaches 180°C (350°F).
Coat the Prawns
Dip each prawn into the batter, allowing excess to drip off.
Fry the Prawns
Carefully place the battered prawns in the hot oil, frying in batches to avoid overcrowding. Fry until golden brown and crispy, about 3-4 minutes. Remove and drain on paper towels.
Serve
Serve the beer battered prawns hot with lemon wedges on the side.
