Crispy Prawn Chips

Crispy Prawn Chips are a delightful Paleo-friendly Chinese seafood dish, featuring light and airy chips made from fresh prawns. These chips are perfect as a snack or appetizer, offering a satisfying crunch with every bite.

Ingredients

• Prawns (peeled and deveined) - 200 grams
• Tapioca flour - 50 grams
• Coconut flour - 30 grams
• Garlic powder - 1 teaspoon
• Salt - 1/2 teaspoon
• Black pepper - 1/4 teaspoon
• Egg - 1 large
• Coconut oil (for frying) - 500 ml

Steps

1. In a food processor, combine the prawns, tapioca flour, coconut flour, garlic powder, salt, black pepper, and egg. Blend until you achieve a smooth and thick batter.
2. Transfer the batter to a bowl and cover it. Let it sit in the refrigerator for about 15 minutes to firm up slightly.
3. Meanwhile, heat the coconut oil in a deep pan over medium heat until it reaches 180°C (350°F).
4. Using a spoon or a small cookie scoop, drop small amounts of the batter into the hot oil, being careful not to overcrowd the pan.
5. Fry the prawn chips for about 3-4 minutes or until they turn golden brown and crispy. Remove them with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels.
6. Repeat the frying process with the remaining batter until all chips are cooked.
7. Serve warm as a snack or appetizer, optionally with a dipping sauce.
