In a large enough bowl, mix the breadcrumbs, chilli powder, cumin, crushed chillies, if using, and lime zest with ½ teaspoon of salt and a generous amount of black pepper.
Pour over a plate. Toss the prawns in the flour, then dip them into the egg and then into the crumbs.
Shake off excess crumbs.
Heat a few centimetres of oil in a large, deep frying pan.
The oil is hot enough when a few crumbs placed in, sizzle and turn brown.
Fry the prawns in batches for 2 minutes, turning halfway, until the crumbs are crisp and golden evenly.
Lift them onto kitchen paper.
