Salt chilli prawns Recipe

  • 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
  1. In a large bowl mix together the cornflour, salt and coriander. Add the king prawns and toss until coated.
  2. 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.)
  3. Deep fry the prawns for 30 seconds, then drain on kitchen towels.
  4. Serve the prawns in a warm bowl.
