Taste of Thailand - Prawns & Mussel Fritters

Ingredients:

• 12 Regal Raw King Prawns, defrosted and shelled
  
• 12 Regal Shell Off New Zealand Mussels, defrosted
• 100g Self Raising Flour, + a little extra for dusting
• ½ tsp Baking Powder
• 225ml Lager
• Enough Groundnut Oil for deep frying

Method

1. Heat the oil to 180°C/350°F.
2. Sift the flour and baking powder into a large bowl, pour in half the lager and mix well.  Gradually whisk in the remaining lager until the batter becomes smooth.  Leave to stand for 1 hour.
3. Dust the shellfish lightly in the flour, then dip in the batter in batches.  Remove with tongs to allow the excess batter to drip back into the bowl.
4. Add them to the hot oil and deep fry for 2-3 minutes or until crisp and golden.
5. Drain on kitchen paper and serve hot with lemon wedges and sweet chilli dip.
