Ingredients

Ingredients:

  • 12 51/60 count prawns, peeled and deviened, tail-on
  • 1/2 cup all purpose flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon fresh cracked pepper
  • 1 egg beaten
  • 1 cup panko bread crumbs
  • olive oil for drizzling
  • non-stick spray

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 450 degrees. Spray a baking sheet with non-stick spray
  • Using a small knife, carefully slice the prawns down the back so that they lay flat. Be careful not to slice through the prawn. Set aside. Repeat until all prawns are completed.
  • In a bowl combine flour, salt and pepper. In another bowl beat egg. Place panko bread crumbs in a third bowl.
  • Dredge each prawn in flour. Shake off excess. Dip in egg and then press into panko bread crumbs to coat.
  • Place finished prawns on prepared baking sheet and bake on the middle rack at 450 for 6-7 minutes. Turn on broiler and cook for an additional 2 minutes or until the prawns turn golden brown.
  • Serve.

Notes

I like to serve these with sweet Thai chili sauce or plum sauce for dipping. For something a little different, and a little spicy try dipping these in hot Chinese style mustard. Enjoy!
