To make the lime dipping sauce:

To make the cucumber and coconut prawn rice paper rolls:

Season the flour with salt and pepper. Dip each prawn in flour then into the egg & roll in coconut to cover, set aside.

Heat oil in a large deep sided frying pan or wok to 180℃. Cook prawns in batches for 3-4 minutes or until golden and crisp. Set aside keep warm.
