- The most difficult and time consuming part of this recipe is julienning the slaw.
- It is important that the cabbage be finely shredded.
- You can use a mandolin or food processor slicing plate to do this.
- Once the cabbage is shredded, put it into a large bowl.
- The pepper and orange have to be done by hand to get the thinnest julienne possible.
- Core, remove seeds and julienne the pepper and put it into the bowl with the cabbage.
- For the orange, peel it and pull the wedges apart.
- Slice each wedge into thinner wedges, about 1/8.
- Then, thinly slice each of those wedges into strips.
- Its OK if some of them fall apart.
- Put the orange into the bowl with the cabbage.
- Make sure that all the juice that accumulates on the board goes into the bowl as well.
- Mix the cabbage, peppers and orange together with salt and pepper to taste.
- This can be done ahead and kept in the refrigerator.
- For the prawns: First, peel them, leaving the tail on.
- Set them aside.
- On a plate, mix together flour and 1 teaspoon each of the seasonings.
- Pour panko onto a separate plate.
- Beat egg, butter and milk together in a shallow bowl.
- Butter will become a bit chunky, but whisk the mixture well and it will smooth out.
- Heat about 2 inches of canola oil in a heavy sauce pan to 350 F.
- Season prawns with remaining seasoning.
- Dust them with the flour mixture, dunk them in the egg mixture and then coat well with panko.
- Drop the prawns in the hot oil for about 5 minutes, turning from time to time to brown evenly.
- When golden brown, remove them from the pan and drain them on a paper towel.
- You may need to work in batches to get all the prawns cooked.
- Do not overcrowd pan.
- Place 1/4 cup of slaw onto a plate and top with two prawns to serve.
