Crunchy coated prawns with Thai dipping sauce

My next recipe in the Gourmet Garden blog off/cook off would have do be my fave!

It is Crunch Coated Prawns with Thai Dipping Sauce

It is the dipping sauce that really makes this dish so delicious!

And it is the

 

Gourmet Garden Thai Seasoning

that makes this quick & easy.

You need

500g of green prawns

I cup of bread crumbs (make your own, they taste better!)

1 egg

a little milk

2 teaspoons of Gourmet Garden Thai Seasoning

juice of 1 large lime (around 1/3 of a cup)

2 teaspoons of brown sugar

2 teaspoons of fish sauce

Make the dipping sauce by mixing the Thai seasoning, lime, brown sugar & fish sauce. Set aside.

Now on to the prawns.

First, take the shells of the prawns & make the bread crumbs (blitz in a food processor)

Make an egg wash with the egg & milk. Set up a production line.

Prawns, egg wash, bread crumbs & a plate to put the prawns on.

Dip the prawns into the egg was, then the bread crumbs & place them on the plate.

Cook in a fry pan on medium to high heat in about 1/2cm of olive oil.

Cook for 1 minute on each side or until crispy & golden

Drain on a paper towel then  serve with the dipping sauce.

This is a quick, easy & very tasty dish. You could serve this as an entree or a main. I must confess that no one else in my house eats seafood so I had the pleasure of eating this all to myself!
