Cashew and Coconut Prawns

These cashew and coconut prawns offer a delightful play on textures, combining a crunchy nut-and-crumb coating with succulent seafood. The sweetness of the shredded coconut and peach jam provides a beautiful contrast to the subtle heat of the red pepper flakes. This dairy-free dish is an excellent choice for a sophisticated starter or a light summer lunch, bringing a touch of tropical flair to your dining table.

Quick to prepare and naturally satisfying, this recipe is perfect for those seeking a gluten-aware alternative by using suitable breadcrumbs. The vibrant dipping sauce can be made in advance, allowing you to focus on achieving that perfect golden finish on the prawns. Serve these immediately while the coating is at its crispest, perhaps alongside a fresh lime-dressed salad for a complete and healthy meal.

How to make Cashew and Coconut Prawns

Combine the jam, vinegar, and red pepper flakes in a small bowl. Stir to combine. Set aside in the fridge until ready to serve.

Place the cashews in a food processor and pulse to break them up a bit. Add the bread crumbs and coconut and pulse a few times just to combine.

In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, salt, and pepper. Add the prawns and toss to coat.

In a large, deep skillet over medium heat, heat 1/4 inch canola oil until shimmering.

Take a prawns from the flour, shake off any excess, and dip it in the egg. Shake off any excess egg and dip the prawns in the cashew mixture. Repeat with the remaining prawns.

Fry the prawns in the oil, turning once, until golden, and cooked through, 4 to 5 minutes, adding more oil to the pan as needed. Drain cooked prawns on a wire rack.

Arrange cooked prawns on a platter with the dipping sauce; serve immediately.
