DEEP-FRIED COCONUT PRAWNS
If you have been anywhere by the sea in the Yucatan peninsula you will have had these deep-fried king prawns with a coconut batter. Curiously to me, they often come with an apple sauce, but less frequently they're served with a papaya and habanero dipping sauce, which I like. The other problem is the batter is often too sweet, so this is my version with no sugar.

Steps:
- To make the dipping sauce, place all the ingredients into a food processer and blend until smooth. Pour into a saucepan and bring to the boil. Reduce to a simmer and cook gently over a low heat for 5 minutes. If the sauce gets too thick, add a few tablespoons of boiling water.
- To make the batter, sift 125g/4½oz plain flour, the baking powder and pinch salt into a bowl. Make a well in centre and break in the egg. Bring in the flour from the sides to make a paste then whisk in the cold water to make a smooth batter.
- Line a baking tray with greaseproof paper and fill a deep-fat fryer or a large, deep, heavy-bottomed pan two-thirds full with the oil. Heat to 180C (a cube of bread should turn brown in one minute when dropped in.) CAUTION: Hot oil can be dangerous. Do not leave unattended.
- Tip the remaining 50g/1¾oz flour into a shallow bowl and season generously with salt and pepper. Mix together the breadcrumbs and coconut in a seperate bowl.
- Coat each prawn in the flour, shaking off any excess, then holding it by the tail, dip it into the batter. Lift it out and let any excess batter drip back into the bowl. Roll the prawn in the coconut crumbs, pressing down so the mixture sticks. Put the prawn on the prepared tray and repeat until all are coated, leaving space between each one.
- Deep-fry the prawns in batches for 1 or 2 minutes until golden-brown and crisp. Drain on kitchen paper.
- Serve at once with the papaya dipping sauce.
COCONUT PRAWNS
From Australian House and Garden. A wine suggestion: a white wine with tropical fruit flavours eg a Sauvignon Blanc Semillon. I've also posted the dipping sauces.Prep and cooking times are guestimates only and probably on the longer side as I am really slow at deveining prawns!

AIR FRYER COCONUT SHRIMP WITH PINEAPPLE SALAD
Some coconut shrimp recipes call for sweetened coconut, but we preferred shredded unsweetened coconut in this recipe. It adds a lot of coconut flavor without making the dish too sweet. Quickly cooked in the air fryer, these shrimp are served with a tangy and sweet pineapple salad and some fresh red pepper to tie everything together.

Steps:
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Season the shrimp with 1/2 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper. Beat the eggs in a large shallow bowl with a pinch of salt. Toss the coconut and panko together in another large shallow bowl. Dip the shrimp in the egg, letting the excess drip back into the bowl. Then, drop the shrimp in the coconut mixture and toss to coat, pressing with your fingers to adhere evenly. As you coat the shrimp, lay them on the baking sheet.
- Brush an air fryer rack with olive oil and preheat to 375˚ F. When the air fryer is ready, add half of the shrimp and cook, turning halfway through, until golden brown and cooked through, 6 minutes. Remove to a plate and repeat with the remaining shrimp.
- While the shrimp cook, combine the pineapple, bell pepper and red onion in a bowl. Drizzle with the olive oil, lime juice and sweet chili sauce; season with 1/2 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper. Toss well.
- Before serving, add the watercress to the pineapple salad and toss. Serve the shrimp with the salad and more sweet chili sauce for dipping.

COCONUT PRAWNS WITH CORIANDER MAYONNAISE
I served this as a stater to a three course meal I did the other night, I used large king prawns and allowed for 2 per person as a starter. I love coconut prawns and I make them several ways, I think my favourite is a curry dipping sauce I make when doing a larger platter of coconut prawns. As this was for a dinner party and that sauce takes more time, I decided to go for a more simplistic one that I could make quickly without fuss. This sauce still goes very well with the coconut prawns and takes no time at all, if you end up having leftovers this will keep in the fridge and does go well with meats in sandwiches also.

Steps:
- Shell and devein prawns, leaving tails intact (makes for better presentation, you will notice from my photo Mine do not as I had to buy them already shelled from my fish store so didn't have a choice.).
- Dip prawns in egg, coat in coconut (I like to double dip so I really get a good coating of coconut, if you do not do this you may need less coconut.)Place prawns on a plate, cover, refrigerate about 20 Min's. Or make ahead of time and store till needed, only same day use though.
- Heat some oil in a frying pan, add prawns, cook on both sides until browned and crisp. Serve with coriander mayonnaise and over roti, if desired. I served mine over crab and zucchini fritters.
- Coriander Mayonnaise.
- Blend turmeric with the water in a small bowl. Stir in remaining ingredients. This can be made ahead of time and just stored in the fridge.

Steps:
- Run a sharp knife down the back of each prawn and remove the grey line that runs from the head to the tail. Whisk the coconut milk until smooth, then tip half into a bowl with the prawns. Add half the lime juice and a pinch of salt, mix well and set aside for 15 mins.
- Meanwhile, mix the remaining coconut milk with the rest of the lime juice, the sesame oil, sugar or honey, and a pinch of salt.
- Divide the watercress or spinach between two plates, then top with the mango, avocado and red onion slices, the mint and sliced chillies.
- Pour a 1-2cm depth of oil into a large saucepan over a medium heat. Combine the desiccated coconut with the cornflour and some seasoning. Drain the prawns and turn in the cornflour mixture to coat, shaking off any excess.
- Drop one prawn into the oil; if it sizzles, add a few more, but don't overcrowd the pan. Fry for 1-2 mins on each side until crisp and golden, then transfer to a plate lined with kitchen paper. When all the prawns are fried, scatter them over the salad and drizzle with the dressing.

Steps:
- Put the onion, ginger, garlic and the halved tomatoes in a food processor with 50ml water and blitz to a smooth purée. You may need to scrape down the inside of the food processor a couple of times. Heat the oil in a large, deep non-stick frying pan, pour in the purée, cover with a lid and cook for 10 mins.
- Add the 1/2 cinnamon stick, mustard seeds, cloves, cardamom, turmeric, coriander and curry leaves, and cook for a few mins, stirring. Pour in 300ml water with the stock cube, coconut and chilli, then leave to simmer for 10 mins more. Taste to ensure that the onion is fully cooked - if not, it is worth cooking for another 5 mins.
- Finally, add the tomato wedges, prawns and fish, gently stir into the sauce, then cover and cook for 5 mins. Serve with the Spicy cauliflower pilau (see Goes well with).
