SALT AND PEPPER PRAWNS

Steps:

• First, place the prawns in a large bowl and tip over the cornflour/cornstarch. Mix together until the prawns are fully coated in the flour.
• Next, add the oil to a large saucepan and bring to 200C/400F. Make sure that it is hot enough if you don't have a kitchen thermometer by adding pinch of the flour and making sure that it sizzles as soon as it hits the oil.
• Carefully add the prawns to the oil using some kitchen tongs. Shake them gently before adding to the oil to remove any excess flour. Work in batches so you don't overcrowd the pan and don't bring the temperature of the oil down too much.
• Carefully remove the cooked prawns from the pan with a strainer or metal tongs. Place on a plate lined with paper towel to soak up any excess oil.
• Heat a teaspoon of the oil in a frying pan or wok over medium-high heat. Add the garlic and chilli and cook for a minute before adding the spring onion and cooking for a further minute.
• Add the prawns, salt, pepper and 5 spice to the pan and squeeze in the lime juice. Cook for a further minute.
• Serve with fresh lime wedges
