Keto Cereal Prawns (Almond Crusted)
Yes, with a tweak: ensure no sugar is added to the 'cereal' mixture or as seasoning. About 10g net carbs per serving, on the higher side for Malaysian food, so watch the portion.
What it is
Succulent prawns coated with a crispy almond flour 'cereal' mixture, fragrant with curry leaves and bird's eye chilies, then wok-fried to perfection. The traditional version uses actual cereal flakes and often sugar, which are replaced with keto-friendly alternatives.
Key ingredients
Prawns, almond flour, unsalted butter, cooking oil, fresh curry leaves, bird's eye chilies, garlic, shallots, salt, white pepper.
How to make it keto
Ensure no sugar is added to the 'cereal' mixture or as seasoning. Confirm almond flour or pork rind crumbs are used for the crispy coating instead of actual cereal or wheat flour.
