Step 1

Heat the oil in a large frying pan.

Step 2

Pat the prawns down with some kitchen paper to ensure they're not too damp.

Step 3

Take three wide bowls. Add the flour and salt & pepper to the first bowl. Mix the egg and coconut milk in the second bowl. Mix the panko and coconut in the third bowl.

Step 4

Coat the prawns first in the flour, then dip into the egg mixture, and finally coat in the coconut mixture.

Step 5

When the oil is hot (you can tell it's hot enough by placing a couple of he panko breadcfumbs in. If they sizzle and start to brown very quickly, it's ready) add in the prawns.

Step 6

Cook the prawns on one side until golden brown - about 1 - 1.5 minutes. Turn over and cook the other side until golden brown - about 1 minute.

Step 7

Remove from the pan with a slotted spoon or tongs, and place on a piece of kitchen paper to remove any excess oil.

Step 8

Transfer to a serving plate and top the prawns with a sprinkle of chopped parsley. Serve with sweet and sour or sweet chilli sauce if you like.
