Beer Battered Prawn Recipe
Ingredients
- 2 cups of self-raising flour
- ½ teaspoon of salt
- 1 bottle of 375ml of your favourite beer
- 1kg of green prawns, peeled with heads removed, deveined & tails attached
- Olive oil, or peanut oil to deep-fry
Instructions
- Combine the flour and salt in a large bowl. Form a well in the centre of the mixture. Gradually whisk in the beer until a smooth batter forms.
- In a wok or deep bottom pot, add enough oil to submerge the prawns. Heat the oil. You will know the oil is ready when a small piece of bread placed in the oil is easily browned.
- Holding the prawns by their tails, dip them in the batter to coat. Add them to the oil and cook for 2 minutes, or until golden and crispy brown.
- Using a holed ladle, transfer the prawns from the wok to a paper towel to remove excess oil, and serve.
Serving Suggestion
These prawns are delicious with a sweet or spicy chilli sauce.
