  2. Fry prawn fritters

    • Heat the oil in a large saucepan to 170°C. Using wet hands, shape large spoonfuls of the prawn mixture into balls. Roll in the sliced shiso. 
    • Drop the balls into the hot oil and fry, inbatches, for 3-4 minutes or until the prawn is cooked through, and the shiso on the outside is crisp but not browned.
