Fried prawns

Fried prawns

Fried prawns are a simple, quick and particularly tempting fish main course, ideal for serving on any occasion. Made with fresh prawns and a light coating of breadcrumbs or flour, they win you over with their irresistible crisp exterior and tender flesh inside. Thanks to how quickly they can be made, this recipe is perfect for an informal family lunch or a dinner with friends. Fried prawns can be served as a main course, as a seafood starter or as part of a generous mixed fried fish platter. For a perfect result, it is important to use fresh ingredients and fry the prawns in very hot oil, so that they turn golden and remain free of excess oil. Serve them freshly cooked, perhaps with lemon wedges or a light sauce.
