Breaded Fried Prawns

Introducing a new recipe for breaded fried prawns that's easy to prepare and delightful to the taste buds. This crispy seafood appetizer is a restaurant favorite, but with this recipe, you can make it in the comfort of your own home! Whether you're cooking for your family or hosting a party, this dish is sure to impress.

For this recipe, I used frozen prawns, but if you prefer fresh, start by peeling the prawns while keeping the tail intact. Devein, wash, and pat dry with a kitchen tissue before seasoning with salt and pepper. If using frozen prawns, thaw them properly, then wash and pat dry. To create the crispy breading, I used homemade breadcrumbs, but panko breadcrumbs are a great alternative.

These golden breaded fried prawns not only look good but are also heartwarming. Seafood is an excellent source of protein and omega-3 fatty acids, which are essential for maintaining a healthy heart. So, treat yourself to this delicious dish and enjoy it with some tomato ketchup.
