Observations
What is the best way to ensure my prawns are crispy when frying?
To achieve crispy prawns, ensure your batter is cold before dipping the prawns, and fry them in hot oil for the recommended time until golden brown.
Can I use frozen prawns for this recipe?
Yes, you can use frozen prawns, but make sure to thaw them completely and pat them dry before dipping in the batter to avoid excess moisture.
What can I serve with golden fried prawns?
Golden fried prawns pair wonderfully with sweet and sour sauce, but you can also serve them with a spicy dipping sauce or a fresh salad for a complete meal.
How can I make this recipe healthier?
To make this recipe healthier, consider baking the prawns instead of frying them, or using a lighter batter made with whole wheat flour and less oil.
What type of oil is best for frying prawns?
For frying prawns, oils with high smoke points like vegetable oil, canola oil, or peanut oil are ideal as they can withstand high temperatures without burning.
