Ingredients
700 gr of frozen raw peeled prawns
2 eggs
2 spring onions
2 tbsp mustard (Dijon)
Juice of half a lemon
Lemon zest
2 tsp chili sauce
Salt
Pepper
130 gr of Panko breadcrumbs
Olive oil
Put 250 gr of the prawns into a food processor and pulse to obtain a smooth paste.
Chop the rest of the prawns into small pieces.
Then in a bowl, add these ingredients:
- the chopped prawns
- the prawn paste
- 2 beaten eggs
- 2 finely chopped spring onions
- the mustard
- lemon juice
- lemon zest
- chili sauce
- 50 gr of Panko
- salt and pepper
Now it’s time to make your patties, about 5 to 8 cm in diameter, depending if you are serving them as starters or main. Coat them with Panko. Lay them out on a tray and cover them, put them in the fridge for 1 hour.
Once they are firm, heat the olive oil in a frying pan and as soon as it is hot fry the patties by batches. Make sure they are golden brown, this means approximately 4 minutes each side.
Serve your prawn patties with homemade tartar sauce
Wet your hands with cold water before handling the mixture, this will prevent it from sticking to your fingers
