Crispy Spiced Fried Prawns

I've been on a bit of a frying blitz, having never really deep fried before. These prawns were good as, unlike in a lot of battered prawn recipes, you could taste the seasonings. For the sauce I used an Asian take on a cocktail sauce which is a bit sweeter.

Ingredients

• King prawns

Marinade

• 2 tbs mustard

• 1 tsp paprika

• 1 tsp cumin powder

• 1 tsp coriander powder

• 1 tsp turmeric

• 1 tsp black pepper

Coating

Sauce

• 3 heaped tablespoons mayonnaise

Method

1. Marinate prawns in the marinade mix for at least 30 mins.

2. Coat prawns with flour mix then dip into the egg then again in the flour mix.

3. Repeat until sufficiently coated.

4. Fry in oil a deep pan at high heat for 3 minutes until golden.

5. Prepare the sauce by mixing all ingredients.
