Deep-Fried Prawns (Camaron Rebosado)

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

For the Batter

• Flour
• Baking powder
• Ground black pepper
• Egg, lightly beaten
• Water
• Fish sauce

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.
