- 1 tbsp cornflour
- 1 tbsp Maldon sea salt
- 1 tbsp chopped coriander
- 5 king prawns, peeled, tails left on
- 500ml/17fl oz vegetable oil, for frying
- In a large bowl mix together the cornflour, salt and coriander. Add the king prawns and toss until coated.
- Heat the vegetable oil in a deep, heavy-bottomed saucepan. It is ready when a breadcrumb which is dropped in sizzles gently in it. (CAUTION: hot oil can be dangerous. Do not leave unattended.)
- Deep fry the prawns for 30 seconds, then drain on kitchen towels.
- Serve the prawns in a warm bowl.
