- Add the flour and everything else except the prawns and mix until everything is coated.
- Gently fold in the prawns.
- Add your chosen oil to a large nonstick frying pan and bring up to medium/high heat.
- Add a heaped tablespoon of the prawn fritter recipe to the pan (preferably work with 4 at a time, spaced apart) and flatten with the spoon and fry each side for about 3 minutes.
- Stack on a plate and repeat until you have no mixture left.
