1. Shell the prawns - leaving the tails on just for presentation.
2. Sift cornflour & plain flour together into a bowl. Add soda water & the egg and mix until just combined (it is ok if the batter is a little lumpy).
3. Add the chilli's, garlic & spring onion to a hot frying pasn with a glug of vegetable oil. Stir fry on a low heat whilst deep frying the prawns.
3. Heat vegetable oil in a saucepan or wok for deep frying. Holding by the tail, dip the prawns into the batter, then deep fry the prawns until batter is slightly browned and prawns have tured pink.
4. Drain the prawns and toss in a bowl/pan with the garlic, chilli, onions & some sea salt.
