Ingredients
1 x 250g pkt shredded coconut
235g (1 cup) whole-egg mayonnaise
60ml (1/4 cup) fresh lime juice
1 large fresh red chilli, deseeded, finely chopped
175g (1 cup) rice flour
3 eggs, lightly whisked
1kg green prawns, peeled leaving tails intact, deveined
Vegetable oil, to deep-fry
Method
Combine the mayonnaise, lime juice and chilli in a small bowl. Cover with plastic wrap and place in the fridge.
Place the rice flour, egg and coconut in separate bowls. Holding prawns by tails, dip them, 1 at a time, into the flour and shake off any excess. Dip prawns into the egg, then press firmly into the coconut to evenly coat. Transfer to a plate.
Add enough oil to a large saucepan to reach a depth of 6cm. Heat to 170°C over medium-high heat (when the oil is ready, a cube of bread will turn golden brown in 20 seconds). Add one-eighth of the prawns to the oil and cook for 1-2 minutes or until golden brown. Use a slotted spoon to transfer to a plate lined with paper towel. Repeat, in 7 more batches, with the remaining prawns, reheating the oil between batches.
Place the prawns on a serving platter and serve with chilli lime mayonnaise.
