Almond Crusted Prawns with Creamy Guacamole and Mango Salsa

1. For the mango salsa, cut the mango down each side of the pip to remove the cheeks, then cut into the flesh of the cheeks in a 1cm dice. Then using a spoon, scoop the flesh from the skin, into a bowl. Add the remaining ingredients and toss to combine. Season with salt to taste and set aside.
2. For the guacamole, place red onion in a small bowl, add avocados and mash using a fork. Mix in the remaining ingredients and set aside.
3. For the almond crusted prawns, crack eggs into a bowl, add water and whisk to combine.
4. Place the panko breadcrumbs and almond flakes in a zip lock bag.
5. Coat each prawn in the egg mixture, then drop into the crumb mixture and toss to coat. Do this twice to get a good crust.
6. Heat enough oil in a large saucepan to deep fry the prawns. When the oil is hot, approximately 170-180°C, gently lower half the prawns into the oil and fry for 2-3 minutes or until golden brown. Repeat with the remaining prawns. Don’t overcrowd the pan as it will reduce the heat in the oil.  Remove prawns from the oil using a slotted spoon and place them on a wire rack placed over a plate or tray. Season with salt to taste.
7. To serve, arrange the prawns in a large platter. Place the mango salsa in a separate serving bowl and the guacamole in another bowl. Garnish with coriander and a cheek of lime.
