Tips

  • Use fresh prawns: Fresh prawns have a better flavor and texture than frozen prawns.
  • Clean the prawns properly: Make sure to remove the head, tail, and shell from the prawns. You can also devein the prawns if you prefer.
  • Use a light coating of flour: Coating the prawns in flour helps them to brown evenly and prevents them from sticking to the pan.
  • Use a hot pan: A hot pan will help to sear the prawns and prevent them from becoming soggy.
  • Cook the prawns for a short time: Prawns cook quickly, so it is important to cook them for a short time to prevent them from becoming overcooked.
  • Season the prawns with lemon myrtle: Lemon myrtle is a native Australian herb that has a unique citrusy flavor. It pairs well with prawns and adds a delicious flavor to the dish.
  • Serve the prawns with a dipping sauce: A dipping sauce can help to enhance the flavor of the prawns. Some popular dipping sauces for prawns include lemon butter sauce, garlic butter sauce, and sweet chili sauce.

The prawns are coated in a light coating of flour and fried until they are golden brown and crispy. The lemon myrtle adds a delicious citrusy flavor to the dish.
