Coconut Prawns
RECIPE BY: Missy Wombat
From Australian House and Garden. A wine suggestion: a white wine with tropical fruit flavours eg a Sauvignon Blanc Semillon. I've also posted the dipping sauces.Prep and cooking times are guestimates only and probably on the longer side as I am really slow at deveining prawns!

Allow the excess to run off then coat with coconut.8
Heat oil in a wok or deep frying pan and test for the correct temperature with one prawn (oil should not be too hot or the coconut will burn before the prawn cooks).9

Yum!!!! We had these delicious prawns tonight and they were great. We tasted coconut prawns at my nephews 21st birthday party ( 18 months ago) and I have been searching for the recipe since then. These prawns really look great - they present so well, taste soooo good and are so easy to make. Easy peasy....and delicious!!!!
