Description

Juicy prawns with a crispy
coconut coating, served
with a refreshing mango and
chive dip.

Method

  1. 1

    1. To make the dip, blend the mango, Greek yoghurt and lime
    juice in a bowl with a hand held blender. Stir in the Chives
    and season well. Chill until ready to use.

    2. For the prawns combine the coconut, Garlic and lemon zest
    in a bowl and set aside. Beat the eggs in another bowl and
    place the flour in a third bowl, well seasoned with Salt and
    Pepper.

    3. Take a prawn and coat in the flour, then in the egg wash, then
    in the coconut mixture. Repeat this with all of the prawns and place
    onto a plate.

    4. Pour the vegetable oil into a frying pan so it is around 1.5cm deep,
    place over a medium heat and allow to reach a temperature where
    a piece of bread will sizzle when dropped into the oil.

    5. Cook the prawns in batches of around 5 at a time. Carefully lower
    each prawn into the oil and cook for around 30 seconds on each
    side, until they turn golden and the prawns have turned pink inside.
    Use a metal slotted spoon to flip the prawns and then allow to cool on
    kitchen towel.

    6. Serve the prawns with the dip.

Chef's Tips

Check to see if the prawns are cooked
through by breaking one in half and ensuring
it has turned pink. If the coating of the prawns
is beginning to singe before the prawns are
cooked, then the oil is too hot. Carefully
remove the pan from the heat for a few
seconds to allow the oil to cool slightly.
