Beer and coconut battered prawns

battered prawns

Heat the oil in a deep-fat fryer to 180°C.

Combine the flour, sugar, herbs and spices in a bowl.

Gradually add the beer and whisk until it becomes a smooth batter.

Place the coconut flakes in another bowl.

One at a time, holding them by the tail, dip the prawns into the batter to coat and then dredge with the coconut.

Deep-fry in batches in the oil for about 2-3 minutes until golden.

Drain on kitchen paper and season lightly with salt and pepper.

Serve with flat bread.
