Ingredients




10 Jumbo Prawns, raw
2 cloves Garlic
1 teaspoon Sesame Oil
1 teaspoon Onion Powder
1 Egg White, beaten
1 tablespoon Potato Flour (or Cornstarch)
1 teaspoon turmeric
100 grams Black Sesame Seeds
Salt& Pepper
Vegetable Oil, for frying
1/2 teaspoon Wasabi
1/2 cup Mayonnaise
1 tablespoon Rice Vinegar

Preparation

1 Peel the prawns and with a sharp knife, score the flesh horizontally on both sides for them to remain flat. 2 Mince the garlic finely. 3 Sprinkle the sesame oil over the prawns, add the minced garlic and coat well. Add beaten egg white and coat. 4 In a bowl, combine the sesame seeds, the flour, the onion powder, turmeric, and a generous amount of salt and pepper. 5 In a bowl, combine the mayo, vinegar and wasabi. Season to taste and transfer to a small black bowl. This makes the body of the spider. Place in the center of a large round dish, preferably a lighter colour like mauve. 6 Heat the oil in a deep pot, when a cube of bread browns in 30 seconds it is hot enough. 7 Lift each prawn out of the egg and let it drip before dipping into the sesame mixture, coating well. Place in the hot oil for 1-2 minutes or until cooked through. 8 Drain on Paper towels and serve, surrounding the dip bowl. You may also add a passionfruit or small avocado as the head, with olive slices or strawberries pinned with a toothpick for the eyes.
