Coconut Prawns Recipes

Steps:

• Heat about 2-inches of oil in a heavy-bottomed pot or large Dutch oven over medium heat until a deep-fry thermometer registers 350 degrees F.
• Meanwhile, put the eggs in one shallow dish. Whisk the flour, cornstarch, cayenne, 2 teaspoons salt and 1 teaspoon pepper together in a medium bowl. Transfer half the flour mixture to a third bowl and stir in the coconut.
• Working in batches, dredge the shrimp in the flour mixture, shake off any excess, dip in the eggs, and then roll in the coconut mixture, pressing to coat thoroughly. Fry until golden, 2 to 3 minutes, adjusting the heat as needed to maintain the oil temperature. Transfer the shrimp to paper towels to drain. Serve with sweet chili or sweet and sour sauce on the side for dipping.

Steps:

• Shell and devein and butterfly prawns-leave the tail if possible.
• In a bowl beat together the eggs, milk and hot sauce.
• Combine flour, salt and sugar on a separate plate and put the coconut in a bowl.
• Dip each prawn in: flour mixture first, egg mixture second, coconut third.
• At this point they can be placed on waxed paper and refrigerated until ready to cook.
• OR Heat oil in a large skillet over medium high heat, and fry to golden on each side.
• Serve with warmed jalapeno pepper jelly or cocktail sauce.

Steps:

• First apply some salt and turmeric to the prawns and set them aside for at least 30 minutes.
• In the meantime extract the coconut milk. Grate the coconut and put it in a mixer with some warm water. Give it a good blitz and then strain the milk. The first extract will be thick and creamy. Put the grated coconut back with some more warm water and purée it well. The second extract will be thinner.
• Heat a little bit of oil and lightly sauté the prawns. You will find them changing colour and becoming redder. Take them out and keep them aside.
• Heat some more oil and add some cumin seeds. Once they start to crackle add the onion paste and ginger paste. Sauté till it starts leaving oil. Add the coriander powder, cumin powder, turmeric powder, red chilli powder, salt and sugar. Fry for a minute or so and add a cup of water. Once it comes to a boil slowly add the coconut milk.
• Now add the prawns, put the flame on low, cover and cook for about 10 minutes.
• Garnish with some shredded coconut.

Steps:

• Fry the onions, ginger and garlic in the oil for about 10 mins. Stir in the turmeric and coriander, then fry for 1 min more. Tip the mixture into a blender with the tomatoes and creamed coconut, then blend to a purée.
• Return to the pan with 300ml water, the chutney, chilli and pepper and simmer for 10 mins. You can freeze it at this stage.
• Stir in the prawns and cook for a few mins more until they turn pink - take care not to overcook them or they'll become tough. Add the coriander, then season to taste with salt, pepper and lemon juice just before serving.

Steps:

• Heat the oil in a large pan or wok. When hot, throw in the garlic, spring onion, ginger and green chilli. Cook on a medium heat for 3-4 mins, then squeeze in your lime juice.
• Stir in the prawns, then add in the coconut milk and stock. Simmer gently for 5 mins on a low heat until the prawns are pink.
• Meanwhile, cook your egg noodles in a pan of boiling water for 4 mins until soft. Drain, then tip into the laksa pan. Season to taste, then serve in a bowl, topped with coriander.

Steps:

• Remove the shell from the prawns keeping the tail on, prepare 3 bowls, one with the flour in, one with the beaten egg and one with the coconut and breadcrumbs mixed together. Dip the prawns first in the flour, then the beaten egg and finally toss in the coconut mix until evenly coated.
• To make the dipping sauce, place the cordial, chilli and rice wine vinegar in a small saucepan, bring to the boil, simmer until reduced a little and syrupy.
• Heat the oil in a pan, cook the prawns until golden for approx. 5 mins, turning half way if shallow frying, drain on kitchen paper.
• Serve the prawns with the lime and coconut dipping sauce

Steps:

• Mix beer, egg, milk, flour, salt, sugar and baking powder.
• Dredge shrimp in batter mixture then redip a second time. Roll in coconut then let rest about 10 minutes.
• Heat oil and deep fry until golden.

Steps:

• Devein prawns and rinse quickly under cold running water, then flatten very slightly with the heel of your hand.
• Refrigerate until needed.
• Sift flour, salt and cornflour into a bowl.
• Add vinegar and water and mix to a smooth batter.
• Spread coconut on a flat plate.
• Dust prawns lightly with extra flour, then dip into the batter.
• Allow the excess to run off then coat with coconut.
• Heat oil in a wok or deep frying pan and test for the correct temperature with one prawn (oil should not be too hot or the coconut will burn before the prawn cooks).
• Cook prawns in batches and drain on paper towels.
• Serve hot, accompanied with lime wedges and dipping sauces such as Yoghurt and Mint Sauce or Chilli Plum Sauce.

Steps:

• Place the prawns into a bowl, sprinkle over the salt, ground turmeric and red chile powder, and set aside to marinate for 10 to 15 minutes.
• Meanwhile, blend the English mustard, cornflour and a splash of water, to a paste in a small bowl. Reserve.
• Heat the mustard oil in a large nonstick pan over a medium heat until smoking. Remove from the heat and set aside to cool for 15 to 20 seconds, then add the nigella seeds, return the pan to the heat, and cook the seeds until they sizzle.
• Add the green chiles, and onion, stir well and fry for 7 to 8 minutes, or until softened.
• Add the garlic, and ginger pastes, and continue to cook for 45 to 60 seconds. Add the reserved mustard paste, and grated coconut, and stir well to combine. Fry the mixture for 4 to 5 minutes, then add the water, and continue cooking for another 3 to 4 minutes, or until the volume of liquid has reduced by half, and the sauce has thickened.
• Add the prawns and cook for 2 to 3 minutes, or until pink, stirring well. Stir in the chopped cilantro, and serve immediately.

Steps:

• Roll shrimp in coconut syrup. Mix finely rolled Ritz crackers with coconut. Roll coated shrimp in cracker- coconut mix. Shake off excess. Deep fry until golden brown.

Steps:

• Run a sharp knife down the back of each prawn and remove the grey line that runs from the head to the tail. Whisk the coconut milk until smooth, then tip half into a bowl with the prawns. Add half the lime juice and a pinch of salt, mix well and set aside for 15 mins.
• Meanwhile, mix the remaining coconut milk with the rest of the lime juice, the sesame oil, sugar or honey, and a pinch of salt.
• Divide the watercress or spinach between two plates, then top with the mango, avocado and red onion slices, the mint and sliced chillies.
• Pour a 1-2cm depth of oil into a large saucepan over a medium heat. Combine the desiccated coconut with the cornflour and some seasoning. Drain the prawns and turn in the cornflour mixture to coat, shaking off any excess.
• Drop one prawn into the oil; if it sizzles, add a few more, but don't overcrowd the pan. Fry for 1-2 mins on each side until crisp and golden, then transfer to a plate lined with kitchen paper. When all the prawns are fried, scatter them over the salad and drizzle with the dressing.

Steps:

• Shell and devein prawns, leaving tails intact (makes for better presentation, you will notice from my photo Mine do not as I had to buy them already shelled from my fish store so didn't have a choice.).
• Dip prawns in egg, coat in coconut (I like to double dip so I really get a good coating of coconut, if you do not do this you may need less coconut.)Place prawns on a plate, cover, refrigerate about 20 Min's. Or make ahead of time and store till needed, only same day use though.
• Heat some oil in a frying pan, add prawns, cook on both sides until browned and crisp. Serve with coriander mayonnaise and over roti, if desired. I served mine over crab and zucchini fritters.
• Coriander Mayonnaise.
• Blend turmeric with the water in a small bowl. Stir in remaining ingredients. This can be made ahead of time and just stored in the fridge.
