First, make the dipping sauce. Crush the garlic, coriander and chilli using a pestle and mortar. (If you dont have one, just finely chop.) Pound in the sugar until dissolved, then add the lime juice and fish sauce. It should taste sweet, salty and spicy.

Heat 7.5cm of oil in a large wok or deep heavy-based saucepan. You can test the temperature by frying a small piece of bread it should sizzle instantly and take 20 secs to turn golden. Toss the prawns with the spice mix, shake off the excess and deep-fry, in batches, for 1-2 mins or until crisp at the edges and starting to curl.

Recommended wine: Pinot Grigio, Riesling, Sauvignon Blanc

Pinot Grigio, Riesling, and Sauvignon Blanc are my top picks for Shrimp. These crisp white wines work well with shrimp prepared in a variety of ways, whether grilled, fried, or in garlic sauce. The Alois Lageder Terran Alpina Pinot Grigio Vigneti delle Dolomiti with a 4.3 out of 5 star rating seems like a good match. It costs about 16 dollars per bottle.
