Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, whisking until just combined. Be careful not to overmix, as this will make the batter tough.
• Frying: Heat the oil in a deep fryer or large pot. Dip each prawn in the batter, letting any excess drip off. Fry the prawns in batches for 2-3 minutes, or until golden brown and crispy. Drain the prawns on paper towels.
• Serving: Serve immediately with your favorite dipping sauce.
