Preparation

How to prepare Crispy Prawns

To make crispy prawns, first take care of cleaning the prawns: remove the legs and shell, making sure to keep the head and tail attached 1, then cut the back with the blade of a knife 2 and remove the black intestinal vein 3. Proceed in this way to clean all the prawns, then move on to the breading.

Pour the eggs into a bowl along with the salt 4 and the grated lemon zest 5, then beat the mixture with a fork 6.

Dip the prawn meat in the egg mixture 7, then coat it with the cornmeal you have placed in another container, making sure it sticks well 8. Place the breaded prawns on a tray as you go 9.

Heat the vegetable oil to a temperature of 355°F, then dip one prawn at a time with a slotted spoon 10. When it is nicely golden (it will take less than a minute), drain and transfer to paper towels 11. Serve your crispy prawns with a pinch of salt, accompanied by mayonnaise and mixed greens 12!
