Thai Coconut Chilli Prawns

Serve as a starter, main course or as a snack with a nice glass of wine or beer, these prawns are quick and dead easy to do.

I served mine with a Thai mango salsa though you could just as easily serve yours with sweet chilli sauce or mix 3 parts mayonnaise to 1 part sweet chilli sauce to make a sweet chilli mayonnaise, chop a bit of fresh coriander and mix it through to make it that bit extra special.

Try get king prawns, they are that bit cheaper, though peeled Dublin bay prawns would be way better if you can get them, they are very expensive though.

To make them GLUTEN FREE use gram flour, VEGETARIANS can use tofu or peppers

De-vein the prawns if needed, this means to slice down the back and remove the black string like thing.

Roll the prawns in the flour first then in the egg then in the coconut mix. You may need to give them a little squeeze to ensure it sticks.
