You can do a few at a time but dont overlaod the pan, the oil temperature will drop and the batter will be very oily.
Once they are all done, remove the oil from the pan, leaving about 1 tablespoon of oil in the pan. Reduce the heat to low, add the honey and allow to melt and become liuid.
Place the sesame seeds on a plate.
Add the prawns to the honey and toss or move around to coat each prawn in the honey nectar.
remove from the heat and coat the prawns in the sesame seeds.

This is a really good dish that the best Chinese restaurant would be happy to serve. While you are deep frying, why not try the Tempura recipe.
