Ingredients

The ingredients are:
  • 500 grams shrimp (raw green king prawns/shrimp flesh)
  • 1/2 cup honey
  • 2 tablespoon lemon juice, fresh
  • 1 teaspoon hot chilli sauce
  • 1/2 teaspoon chili flakes, or to taste - optional
  • 1 tablespoon sesame seeds (toasted)
  • 1/2 cup cornflour
  • 1 cup self-rising flour
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 large egg (lightly beaten)
  • 300 ml water
  • Cooking oil, for frying
We recommend you get your ingredients ready before you start cooking. Once you're ready, here are the steps to making this delicious recipe

How to Make

  • Step 1: Devein the prawns and set aside.

  • Step 2: Combine the cornflour, self raising flour and salt into a bowl and stir in the egg and water and mix together to make a smooth batter.

  • Step 3: Heat oil in a pan (I use a deep fryer) and heat to 180C or until a square of bread dropped into the hot oil and it rises to the surface and is brown it is ready.

  • Step 4: Dip the prawns into the batter and fry in the hot oil and then remove and drain on paper towel, you will needs to do this in batches and depending on size of fryer as to how many batches this will take will direct how long it will take to cook, so times given are estimated.

  • Step 5: Heat the honey, lemon, chilli sauce and dried chilli in a jug and heat in the microwave or put in a saucepan and heat gently on the stove top.

  • Step 6: Plate up prawns and drizzle with sauce and scatter toasted sesame seeds over, we only used half the sauce on the prawns and used the other half to put over our rice or you could use all for the prawns if you wish.
