    • Fry the king prawns in batches until golden and crispy, about 2-3 minutes per side.
    • Transfer to a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil.

    • Add a slice of avocado, a few coriander leaves, and some coleslaw mix.
    • Top with 2-3 crispy king prawns and a squeeze of lime juice.
    • Close with the top half of the bun.
  5. Serve:
    • Serve the sliders immediately with additional lime wedges on the side.
