Crispy Garlic Prawns

This is a recipe you get down and dirty with! It’s a family favourite and is super easy to make. I always use Sainsbury's Raw Shell On Jumbo King Prawns, Taste the Difference (£8.50) – usually 16 prawns come in a pack. They’re so, so big and juicy.

 You can find the video tutorial here on TikTok & Instagram.

WHAT YOU NEED

• 16 raw shell-on jumbo king prawns

• ½ tsp black pepper

• ½ tsp ginger powder

• ½ tsp white sugar

• 1 tbsp fish sauce or salt

• 2 red chillies

• 2 garlic cloves

• 3 spring onions

• Oil, for frying

• 3 ½ tbsp cornflour

• Salt, honey and black pepper to taste

STEPS

1. Remove the head and legs of the prawns. Then de-vein.

2. Marinade your prawns in fish sauce/salt, ginger powder, sugar and black pepper. Leave to marinade for 30 minutes.

3. Drain excess water, then coat in cornflour.

4. Heat the oil, then fry a few prawns at a time for 45 secs – 1 minute. (TIP: Drop in a piece of bread, if it browns in 1 minute, the oil is hot enough).

5. In a saucepan, fry the chopped spring onions, garlic and chillies. Then season with salt and black pepper. After 2 minutes, add the prawns.
