Place the flour in a shallow bowl. Place the egg in a separate bowl. Combine the breadcrumbs and coconut in a separate bowl. Dip 1 prawn in flour to lightly coat, dip in egg, then in coconut mixture, lightly pressing to coat. Repeat with the remaining prawns. Place in the fridge for 30 mins to set.

Add enough vegetable oil in a medium saucepan to reach a depth of 5cm. Place over medium heat to reach 180C (to test when oil is ready, a cube of bread turns golden brown in 15 seconds). Cook the prawns, in batches, for 2 mins or until golden brown and crisp. Use a slotted spoon to transfer to a plate lined with some paper towels.
