Beer Battered Sweet & Sour Prawns

PREP TIME

COOK TIME

SERVES

Ingredients

1 cup self-raising flour

1/3 cup potato starch or cornflour (cornstarch), plus ½ cup extra

330ml (11 fl oz) bottle cold beer 

vegetable oil, for deep-frying

600g (1.3 lb) green prawns, peeled, deveined, tails intact

Marion’s Kitchen Thai Sweet & Sour Original Marinade (click here to find out where to buy)

spring onions (scallions), sliced, to serve

sea salt

Steps
  • Step 1

    Whisk together the flour, potato starch and a large pinch of salt. Make a well in the middle, then gradually whisk in enough beer to form a smooth batter (feel free to drink the remaining beer!).

  • Step 2

    Fill a wok or saucepan to about 1/3 capacity with oil. Heat over high heat. The oil is hot enough when a wooden spoon dipped into the oil forms little bubbles.

  • Step 3

    Place the extra potato or cornflour on a plate. Working in batches, add the prawns and dust lightly to coat, shaking off any excess. Dip the prawns into the batter before gently placing into the hot oil. Cook for 2-3 minutes or until each prawn is golden, crisp and cooked through. Drain on a wire rack or paper towel. Sprinkle with salt.

  • Step 4

    Transfer the prawns to a serving plate. Scatter over the spring onions and serve with the Thai Sweet & Sour for dipping.
