2. To cook the fritters
Pour enough oil into a medium saucepan to reach 3cm up side of pan. Heat over medium heat until hot. Fill a tablespoon measuring spoon with mixture, including 1 prawn. Using the back of a teaspoon, press mixture to compact. Using the front of the teaspoon, slide mixture off the spoon into the hot oil. Repeat to make 3 more fritters.
Cook for 4 minutes or until golden. Drain on paper towel. Cover loosely to keep warm. Repeat with remaining batter to make 20 fritters.
