Laura from Come Dine With Me Aberdeen shows off her eclectic taste with a prawn tempura starter

Serves 4-5

Ingredients

  • 1 kg peeled raw tiger prawns, thawed if frozen
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper

For the batter

  • 1 egg, lightly beaten
  • 65g plain flour
  • White breadcrumbs, for coating (use dry bread)
  • Vegetable oil for deep frying

For the dipping sauce

  • 6 tbsp soy sauce
  • 2 tbsp caster sugar
  • 1 tbsp balsamic vinegar
  • Freshly grated horseradish, to taste

Method: How to make prawn tempura

1. De-vein the prawns to remove the dark intestinal sack. Season prawns with salt. Lightly whisk the egg and flour together and season with salt and pepper. Half-fill a large pan with oil and preheat to 180°C/350°F. Dip the prawns into the batter and then coat in breadcrumbs.

2. Deep fry the prawns in batches until browned and cooked through. Use a cooking thermometer to check the temperature of the oil. (Alternatively, use a deep fat fryer.)

3. Remove the prawns with a heatproof slotted spoon and drain on kitchen paper. Keep warm while the remainder are prepared.

Tip:

When deep frying, do not allow oil to over heat. Do not leave hot oil unattended.

4. For the dipping sauce, mix the soy sauce, sugar and vinegar together. Add the horseradish to taste and season with a little black pepper. Dip the prawns in the soy mixture to serve.
