Ingredients
Prawn Coating
- 1 lb prawns, peeled and deveined
- 1 cup all-purpose flour seasoned with salt and pepper
- 1 large egg, beaten
- 1 cup panko breadcrumbs
Honey Glaze
- 1/4 cup honey
- 1/4 cup soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon fresh ginger, minced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
For Frying and Garnish
- Vegetable oil for frying
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Fresh green onions, for garnish optional
- Sesame seeds, for garnish optional
Instructions
Preparation
- Pat the prawns dry with paper towels.
- Set up three shallow dishes: one with seasoned flour, one with beaten egg, and one with panko breadcrumbs.
Coating
- Dip each prawn into the flour, then the egg, and finally coat with panko breadcrumbs.
Frying
- Heat about an inch of vegetable oil in a frying pan over medium-high heat.
- Add prawns in batches and fry until golden brown and crispy, about 2-3 minutes per side.
- Remove from pan and let them drain on paper towels.
Making the Glaze
- In a small saucepan, combine honey, soy sauce, minced ginger, and garlic.
- Bring to a gentle simmer, stirring until well mixed and slightly thickened.
Serving
- Toss the crispy prawns in the glaze until coated. Serve with a sprinkle of sesame seeds and sliced green onions.
Notes
Feel free to customize the glaze with lime juice or chili flakes for a kick. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge, but expect them to lose some crispiness upon reheating.
