Creating Wasabi Crumbed Prawn Skewers with Shoestring Fries can be straightforward by following these simple steps:
1. Preheat the Fryer: Heat your oil in a deep fryer or large pot to 350°F (175°C).
2. Prepare the Marinade: In a bowl, mix the wasabi paste and soy sauce.
3. Marinate the Prawns: Toss the prawns in the marinade until they are evenly coated.
4. Prepare the Breading Station: Set out three shallow bowls: one with the beaten eggs, one with breadcrumbs, and one for the seasoned flour.
5. Bread the Prawns:
– First, dip each marinated prawn into the eggs.
– Next, roll them in breadcrumbs until fully coated.
6. Skewer the Prawns: Thread the breaded prawns onto the wooden skewers, leaving some space between each prawn.
7. Fry the Prawns: Carefully place the skewers into the hot oil, frying them for about 3-4 minutes or until golden brown.
8. Prepare the Shoestring Fries: While the prawns are frying, cook the shoestring fries according to the package instructions.
9. Season the Fries: Once cooked, sprinkle salt and pepper on the fries to taste.
10. Serve: Remove the skewers from the oil and drain on paper towels. Serve immediately with the shoestring fries on the side.
