How to make Crispy Creamy Rock Prawns with Sweet Chilli Aioli and Apple Slaw

In a small bowl, whisk together all of the aioli ingredients. DO AHEAD: Can be made 2 days ahead. Cover and chill.

In a small bowl, toss together all of the slaw ingredients, cover, and keep chilled until ready to serve.

Line a baking sheet with 2 layers of paper towels.

In a heavy large pot, heat 3 inches of oil until a deep-fat thermometer registers 177°C.

In a small bowl, whisk together flour, salt, and pepper.

In a medium bowl, stir together beer and tempura mix—the mixture should be about as thick as pancake batter.

Lightly coat the prawns in the seasoned flour, shaking off any excess, then dip in the tempura batter. Working in batches, fry the prawns until light golden brown, about 3 minutes per batch. Transfer as done to the prepared baking sheet and return oil to 177°C between batches.

Transfer the fried prawns to a small bowl, add sweet chilli aioli, and gently toss to coat.

Divide the apple slaw among 6 small appetizer plates. Arrange about 6 prawns on each plate and serve immediately.
