Crispy Fried Coconut Prawns

Method

Preparing Crispy Fried Coconut Prawns

  1. 1

    Prepare the Pineapple Sambal

    In a bowl, combine diced pineapple, red onion, cilantro, lime juice, sugar, and a pinch of salt. Mix well and let it sit for at least 15 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.

  2. 2

    Prepare the Prawns

    In three separate bowls, set up your breading station: one with flour, one with beaten eggs, and one with a mixture of shredded coconut, panko breadcrumbs, salt, black pepper, and cayenne pepper.

  3. 3

    Bread the Prawns

    Dip each prawn first into the flour, then into the beaten eggs, and finally coat with the coconut-panko mixture. Make sure they are well-coated.

  4. 4

    Fry the Prawns

    In a large skillet, heat vegetable oil over medium-high heat. Once hot, carefully add the breaded prawns in batches, frying for about 2-3 minutes on each side or until golden brown and crispy. Remove and drain on paper towels.

  5. 5

    Serve

    Serve the crispy fried coconut prawns hot with the sweet and spicy pineapple sambal on the side.
