Tempura prawns with lemon myrtle salt Recipe.

Ingredients:

2 TSP lemon zest
1 egg yolk, lightly beaten
1 cup sparkling water, chilled
3/4 cup all-purpose flour, sifted
Sunflower oil, to deep-fry
1/3 cup cornflour
12 Shrimp, peeled (tails intact), deveined
2 onions, peeled, sliced into 1/4" rings
2 potatoes, sliced into rounds
Soy sauce, to serve

Recipe Instructions:

Combine the lemon myrtle with 2 TSP salt flakes in a bowl and set aside.

For the batter, whisk together the egg yolk and sparkling water.
Add the flour and lightly whisk to combine.


Half-fill a deep-fryer or large saucepan with oil and heat to 190? degrees C (a cube of bread will turn golden in 30 seconds when the oil is hot enough).

Place the cornflour on a plate.
Lightly coat prawns, onion and potato in cornflour, then dip in the batter to thickly coat.
In batches, lower into the hot oil and cook for 2-3 minutes until golden and puffed.


Drain well on paper towel and repeat with remaining prawns, potato and onion.


Serve with soy sauce and the lemon myrtle salt for dipping.
