Prawns with sesame seeds and poppy seeds

Dear friends, today we are going to prepare together a refined and very easy to make finger food, ideal for an important dinner prawns with sesame and poppy seeds, a real delicacy! Strictly fried, these prawns have a light crust based on egg white to which the seeds are added externally: a minute in boiling oil and they are ready! To make the breading adhere better to the prawns, I first pass them from the flour, but if you want to make a gluten-free version you can also use cornstarch or potato starch. The prawns with sesame and poppy seeds are excellent on their own, served hot, or as an accompaniment to balsamic vinegar, vinegar glaze or soy sauce: the choice is yours! Let's see together the few simple steps you need to prepare them. Ingredients 12 king prawns 3 egg whites 50 g sesame seeds 50 g poppy seeds 300 ml peanut oil salt parsley Procedure First, arm yourself with gloves and clean the prawns: detach the head and remove the carapace while leaving the base of the tail. Cut the surface of the prawns and remove the central wicker. Separate the egg whites from the yolks and beat them with a whisk or fork: they should soften and become frothy but not whipped. Prepare 3 more bowls, one with flour, one with sesame seeds and the other with poppy seeds. Dip the prawns first in the flour, then in the egg white and finally in the sesame or poppy seeds. When you have breaded all the prawns, put three fingers of oil to heat in a saucepan. When it is hot, dip the prawns (a few at a time to avoid lowering the temperature of the oil). Cook for a maximum of 2 minutes and remove the prawns from the saucepan, then place them on absorbent paper. Complete with a sprinkling of salt and a handful of chopped parsley and serve your prawns with sesame and poppy seeds hot, alone or accompanied by sauces of your choice.
