Cajun Fried Prawns
with creamy mash and zesty shredded salad
Earthy herbs and smoky spices are hallmarks of Cajun cuisine. It just so happens that both pair particularly well with crispy breaded fried chicken as you'll see in this simple and super delicious recipe.

Cooking Steps
1
- Chop the potatoes into 2cm chunks (peeling optional).
- Place in a pot, cover with water and season with salt.
- Bring to the boil and cook until fork tender, 12-18 mins.
- Once cooked, drain in a colander (reserving a little cooking water) and return to the pot, off the heat.
- Add a knob of butter and a splash of milk or cooking water. Mash until smooth. Season with salt and pepper. Cover to keep warm.
2
- Meanwhile, quarter the lime.
- Roughly chop the parsley (stalks and all).
- Trim and grate the carrot (no need to peel).
- In a deep plate or large bowl, mix the breadcrumbs with the Cajun spice, ¼ tsp salt (per 2P) and pepper.
- Beat 1 egg (per 2P) in a separate deep plate or large bowl.
3
- Place your hand flat on top of the chicken and cut horizontally from thick end to thin point until there's 2cm left (don't slice all the way through). IMPORTANT: Wash hands and equipment after handling raw chicken and its packaging.
- Open it up like a book.
- Dip chicken first in egg then in breadcrumbs.
- Transfer to a clean plate.
Note: Swapping to prawns? Toss the prawns with the egg and breadcrumbs, then fry until golden and cooked through, 4-5 mins.
4
- Place a large pan over medium-high heat with enough oil to cover the bottom.
- Once hot, carefully lay the chicken into the pan and reduce the heat to medium-high.
- Fry until golden brown and cooked through, 8-10 mins.
- Turn every 2-3 mins, adjusting the heat if necessary. IMPORTANT: Chicken is cooked when no longer pink in the middle.
TIP: Allow the oil to get nice and hot so the chicken fries properly.
5
- Quarter, core and thinly slice the apple (no need to peel).
- To make your dressing, mix 1 tbsp lime juice (per 2P), salt, pepper and a drizzle of oil in a medium bowl.
- Add the carrot, salad leaves, apple and half the parsley.
- Toss together until everything is coated in the dressing.
6
- Arrange the mashed potato, chicken and salad on plates.
- Top with remaining parsley.
