Crispy Coconut Prawns
Method
Preparation and Cooking
Prepare the Prawns
In a bowl, season the prawns with salt and black pepper. Set aside.
Set Up Breading Station
In three separate shallow dishes, place the flour in one, beaten eggs in the second, and mix the shredded coconut and panko breadcrumbs in the third.
Bread the Prawns
Dredge each prawn in flour, shaking off the excess. Dip into the beaten eggs, then coat thoroughly with the coconut and panko mixture. Press gently to adhere.
Heat the Oil
In a large skillet, heat vegetable oil over medium-high heat until it shimmers.
Fry the Prawns
Carefully add the breaded prawns to the hot oil in batches, making sure not to overcrowd the skillet. Fry for about 2-3 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and crispy.
Drain and Serve
Remove the prawns from the skillet and place them on paper towels to drain excess oil. Serve hot with sweet and spicy pineapple sambal.
