Method

Ingredients

Beat a free-range egg with cold soda water.

Add sifted flour and a sprinkle of sea salt to taste, then mix to combine.

Heat canola oil in a saucepan over a medium to high heat.

Coat cleaned and shelled prawns in the batter and fry in batches for 1–2 minutes, or two until the batter is puffy and golden.

If a teaspoon of batter dropped into the oil sizzles and puffs up, the oil is at the right temperature.

Remove using a slotted spoon and drain on kitchen paper.

Serve hot with sweet chilli sauce for dipping and a sprinkling of chilli salt.
