Recipe's Ingredients

Recipe for 4 people
  • 20 yabbies (prawns, shrimp or squid)
  • 100g rice flour or breadcrumb

  • 80g rocket (arugula) or mizuna leaves

  • skewers

  • Recipe preparation steps

  • 1
    Start out by freezing your catch for 2 hours immediately before the preparation.
  • 2
    Begin by heating up vegetable oil in a deep pot on the stove.
  • 3
    Take a lot of care when deep frying and watch the protruding handle on some pots since bumping it can splash the oil and lead to a fire.
  • 4
    I like to use vegetable or peanut oil as the plain flavours don’t over-power the subtle flavours of the seafood. (they also have a higher smoke point than olive or other nut oils so you reduce the oxidation of the fats and this makes them better for deep frying.)
  • 5
    Remove the head from each yabby and peel off the shell by snipping the edges of the shells with kitchen scissors.
  • 6
    You can reserve the shells and heads, roast them and make a delicious stock or bisque (not needed for this recipe) so freeze everything but the tail meat for up to a few weeks until you need it.
  • 7
    Depending on the size of each yabbie, you may need 5-6 smaller tails per skewer or 2 – 3 larger ones.
  • 8
    Mix the salt & pepper with the rice flour and coat the skewered yabbies generously.
  • 9
    Before you cook the yabbies, you’ll need to test the heat of the oil.
  • 10
    As we demonstrated on the show, you can do this by placing a skewer in the heated oil. If bubbles come out of the end of the skewer, the oil is hot enough.
  • 11
    Lower the yabbies into the hot oil, they will need only 2-3 minutes to cook and the coating should be golden brown. Drain on paper toweling to soak up any excess oil.
  • Ready !
