Step-by-step
- Preheat the oven to 220°C/Fan 200°C/Gas 7. Boil the chips in lightly salted boiling water for 5 minutes. Drain well, return to the pan and cover. Leave to cool slightly then shake the pan to roughen the edges.
- Line a baking tray with baking parchment and arrange the chips in a single layer. Spray with low calorie cooking spray and bake for 20 minutes or until golden.
- Meanwhile, put the bread in a food processor and blitz until you have fine breadcrumbs. Transfer to a shallow bowl and mix in the dried herbs and paprika.
- Lightly beat the eggs in another shallow bowl.
- Season the prawns with salt and pepper, then dip each one first into the egg and then the breadcrumb mixture. Arrange the prawns on a non-stick baking sheet, lightly spray with low calorie cooking spray and bake for 10-12 minutes or until cooked through and lightly browned.
- Serve with the chips (seasoned with salt), tartare sauce (see below), and a big mixed salad or mushy peas.
- For the tartare sauce: In a bowl mix together all the ingredients.
- Season, scatter over a little chopped fresh dill and chill until ready to serve. Leftover tartare sauce can be kept in the fridge, covered, for up to 3 days.
