Preparation

Step 1

1. heat oven to 400F. Arrange the chips on a baking tray, drizzle with the oil and season. Bake for 40-45 mins until golden, turning halfway through.

2. Mix the prawns in the beaten egg and tip the crumbs onto a plate. Lift the prawns out with a slotted spoon so that any excess egg drains off and toss them in the crumbs with your hands so they are coated. Transfer to a baking tray.

3. When the chips have 10 mins to go, heat grill to high. Cook the prawns for 3-5 mins each side, until crisp and cooked through. Mix the mayo, garlic and tumeric together with some seasoning. Serve with the chips, ‘custard’ mayo and lemon wedges, if you like.

TIP if your oven doesn’t have a grill setting, then you can cook the prawns in the oven for the 10-12 mins – they just may not get as golden.
