This salt and pepper prawns recipe brings a beloved takeaway classic into your kitchen with a lighter, diabetes-friendly twist. By using a light dusting of cornflour and heart-healthy vegetable oil, you can achieve a wonderfully crisp texture without the heavy batter often found in restaurants. The combination of pungent black pepper and citrusy Sichuan peppercorns provides a sophisticated heat that perfectly complements the natural sweetness of the large, shell-on prawns.
Ideal as a protein-rich starter or a light main course, this savoury seafood dish is packed with fresh flavours from the sliced chilli and coriander. Serving the prawns in their shells helps to retain moisture during the quick frying process, making every bite succulent. For a complete and balanced meal, serve these alongside a generous portion of steamed bok choy or a crisp cucumber salad.
