  • Do not overcrowd the fryer or pot when frying the prawns, as this can lower the oil temperature and result in soggy tempura.
  • If you don't have lemon myrtle salt, you can substitute it with regular sea salt or any other flavored salt of your choice.

Storage and Serving

  • Tempura prawns are best served immediately while they are still hot and crispy.
  • If you have leftovers, you can store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
  • To reheat the tempura prawns, place them on a baking sheet and bake in a preheated oven at 180°C (350°F) for about 5-7 minutes, or until heated through and crispy again.
