    Golden looking deep-fried prawns are good as an appetizer or as a main dish.

    Recipe Ingredients

    For the Prawns/Shrimp

    • Prawns
    • Salt
    • Oil for frying

    Deep-fried Prawns

    HOW TO MAKE THIS RECIPE

    For the Shrimp

    • Peel and devein the prawns, but keep the tails on. Sprinkle prawns with salt. Set aside.

    For the Batter

    • Combine the flour, baking powder, ground black pepper. Add the egg, cold water, and fish sauce. Set aside.

    Putting it All Together

    • In a pan, heat oil until hot.
    • Holding the tail of the prawn, dip the prawn into the batter using a spoon. It is better if you use a spoon because the batter is quite thick and it is much easier to use it.
    • Deep fry the prawn for 2-3 minutes or until golden brown. Put only 3 to 4 prawns at a time to avoid overcrowding the pan. Continue until finished.
    • Serve with your favorite dipping sauce.

    How to Store

    Store in an airtight container and can be kept in the refrigerator for 3-4 days.

    What to Serve with this Dish

    This dish is best if served with a dipping sauce. Please try my favorite Filipino Sweet and Sour Sauce because it goes well with these fried prawns. You can also serve this dish as an appetizer, or as a main dish.

      I can’t wait to make these! My husband made the best deep fried prawns! I know he didn’t use fish sauce. So my question is, do you think it makes a big difference using it? If so, could I substitute that with Old Bay seasoning? Thanks much!

        Hi Audrey,

        You do not have to add the fish sauce, and yes you can definitely use your own seasoning.

        Cheers,
        Adelyn
