PF3_2134

These crispy prawns – made using Main Street Brewing No. 7 Saison – are the perfect bar snack for your next party.

Serves four.

Cooking time 30 minutes

Ingredients

1 650ml bottle Main Street Saison

24 prawns

2/3 cups all purpose flour (I used gluten free for a crispier coating)

1 tsp salt

1/2 tsp baking powder

1 egg

1 tbsp vegetable oil plus oil for frying

1/4 cup of your favourite hot sauce (I used Sophie’s from Sophie’s Cosmic Cafe)

1/4 cup mayonnaise

1 lemon cut into wedges

Step 1

Preheat your countertop deep fryer to 375 degrees C or use a deep skillet if you don’t have one.

Step 2

Mix your flour, salt, baking soda, egg, oil and a 1/2 cup of beer (the rest is for you) to create your batter. Place your fresh prawns on a towel to dry them so that the batter will adhere.

Step 3

Dip your prawns into the batter and place into the hot oil. Do this in small batches to avoid cooling down the oil. Fry until golden brown then place on a paper towel lined tray and season with salt while they are hot.

Step 4

Mix your hot sauce and mayo together, serve the prawns hot with wedges of lemon and your spicy mayo. Serve with Main Street saison to complement these crispy tasty prawns.
