Ingredients

  • 2 litres vegetable oil, for deep frying
  • 500 g raw school prawns (heads removed if large)
  • 90 g (½ cup) potato starch or cornflour
Salt of the sea
  • 2 tbsp sea salt flakes
  • 1 sheet toasted nori, torn
  • 1 tbsp bonito flakes
  • 1 tsp aonori (optional, see note)

Instructions

  1. For the salt, place all the ingredients except the aonori in the small bowl of a high-speed blender or food processor and blend to a coarse powder. Add the aonori (if using) and blend to your preferred texture. 

  2. Heat the oil in a large saucepan or deep-fryer to 200˚C. Toss the prawns in the potato starch and deep-fry in batches for about 4 minutes or until crisp. Drain on paper towel and serve immediately with the salt of the sea.

Note
• Aonori (dried green laver or seaweed) is green seaweed that is dried and powdered. It has a distinctive aroma. Aonori is found at Japanese markets and online stores.
