1
Prepare the Prawns
In a large bowl, combine the prawns, minced garlic, salt, and black pepper. Mix well and let marinate for about 15 minutes.
2
Coat the Prawns
In another bowl, mix the all-purpose flour and beaten egg until combined. Dip each marinated prawn into the flour mixture, ensuring it is well coated.
3
Add Oats
After coating in the flour mixture, roll each prawn in the dried oats until fully covered.
4
Heat the Oil
In a deep frying pan or wok, heat vegetable oil over medium-high heat until hot (approximately 180°C or 350°F).
5
Fry the Prawns
Carefully add the coated prawns to the hot oil in batches. Fry for 2-3 minutes or until golden brown and crispy. Remove with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels.
6
Serve
Serve the crispy prawns hot with your favorite dipping sauce.
