Saffron Mayonnaise:
for mint mayo
ginger, garlic, mint, coriander, green chilly (make a paste)
1 tbs hot water
½ cup home-made or good-quality store-bought mayonnaise
Method of making
Peel and de vein the prawns, keeping the tails intact. Reserve the shells and discard the heads.
For the mint mayonnaise, in a blender blend mint, coriander,garlic flakes, ginger root and green chilly water and make a paste out of it, mixed this paste with mayonnaise and stir until combined. Cover with plastic film and place it in the fridge until required.
Make 20 equal-sized balls (about 1tbs each) and place them onto a tray. Lightly season the prawns with salt and pepper. Grab 1 ball, flatten it on the palm of your hand and wrap each prawn leaving the tail uncovered. Place it back on the tray. Repeat with the remaining prawns.
Pour the breadcrumbs in a shallow bowl and the egg whites in another bowl. Line a baking tray with paper towel. Roll the croquettes in the egg whites then breadcrumbs. Half fill a deep-fryer or medium saucepan with vegetable oil and heat to 190°C or test the oil with a little piece of bread, if the bread turns gold in 30 seconds, the oil is ready for deep-frying. In batches, fry the croquettes for 3 minutes or until golden. Drain on prepared tray. Serve warm with mint mayonnaise and lime wedges.
