Bang Bang Prawns - Prawn Recipes
Ingredients:
For the prawns:
- ➤500g large prawns, peeled and deveined
- ➤1 cup all-purpose flour
- ➤1 cup cornstarch
- ➤1 teaspoon baking powder
- ➤1 teaspoon salt
- ➤1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- ➤1 cup cold water
- ➤Vegetable oil, for frying
For the sauce:
- ➤1/2 cup mayonnaise
- ➤2 tablespoons sweet chili sauce
- ➤1 tablespoon Sriracha sauce (adjust to your spice preference)
- ➤1 tablespoon honey
- ➤1 teaspoon soy sauce
- ➤1 clove garlic, minced
- ➤1 tablespoon fresh lime juice
- ➤2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro (coriander), for garnish
Instructions:
1. Prepare the prawns: Pat the peeled and deveined prawns dry with paper towels. In a large bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, cornstarch, baking powder, salt, and black pepper.
Gradually add the cold water to the dry ingredients, whisking until you have a smooth and thick batter.
2. Heat the vegetable oil: In a deep heavy-bottomed pot or a deep fryer, heat vegetable oil to 180°C (350°F). Make sure there is enough oil to fully submerge the prawns.
3. Coat the prawns: Dip each prawn into the batter, ensuring it's completely coated. Shake off any excess batter before carefully placing the prawns into the hot oil. Fry the prawns in batches to avoid overcrowding the pot.
4. Fry the prawns: Fry the prawns for about 2-3 minutes or until they turn golden and crispy. Use a slotted spoon to remove the fried prawns from the oil and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to drain any excess oil.
5. Prepare the sauce: In a mixing bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, sweet chili sauce, Sriracha sauce, honey, soy sauce, minced garlic, and fresh lime juice. Taste the sauce and adjust the spiciness or sweetness if needed.
6. Toss the prawns in the sauce: Add the fried prawns to the sauce and toss them gently to coat them evenly with the creamy and spicy mixture.
7. Garnish and serve: Transfer the Bang Bang Prawns to a serving plate and sprinkle chopped fresh cilantro over the top for garnish.
Serve the Bang Bang Prawns immediately as an appetizer, party snack, or as a main dish with steamed rice or noodles. Enjoy the delectable combination of crispy prawns and flavorful sauce!
