Equipment
- Mandoline Slicer optional, for salad vegetables
Ingredients
- 500 grams king prawns or jumbo shrimp 1lb
- 2 cups toasted panko* or regular breadcrumbs
- 2 tbsp corn flour or cornstarch
- 1 egg beaten
- salt and pepper
- spray oil for frying
- chives sliced, for garnish
Salad
- 1 head Romaine lettuce shredded
- 2 carrots thinly sliced
- 1 cup sliced cucumber
- 1 cup sliced radish
- 1 red onion thinly sliced
Salad Dressing
- 3 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
- 2 tbsp fresh lime juice
- 1 tbsp apple cider vinegar
- 1 tbsp chopped fresh coriander
- 1 tsp flaky salt
Bang Bang Sauce
- ½ cup mayonnaise
- ¼ cup sweet chilli sauce
- 1 tbsp sriracha*
- salt to taste
Instructions
- Make the salad dressing by combining all the ingredients and whisking together. Drizzle over the prepared Romaine, cucumbers, carrots, onion and radish and toss to combine.
- To make the Bang Bang Sauce, combine all the ingredients together in a bowl. Add salt to taste - I start with ½ teaspoon.
- Prepare three bowls - one with cornflour, one for a beaten egg and the third for the breadcrumbs
- Pat the prawns dry with kitchen paper and season lightly with salt and pepper. Toss in the corn flour, then dip in the beaten egg before coating in panko.
- Arrange the breaded prawns in an even layer in the air fryer basket (you may need to do this in batches - they shouldn't be touching). Spray or brush with a very light coating of oil.
- Air fry at 200℃/400℉ for 5 minutes, then flip the prawns and cook for another 2-3 minutes.
- Once cooked, carefully toss the prawns in the Bang Bang sauce, then serve on a bed of prepared salad. Drizzle with extra Bang Bang sauce and garnish with chopped chives or green onion.
Notes
Toasted Panko - for the best Air Fried Shrimp I recommend toasting the breadcrumbs in a frying pan or skillet with a drizzle of olive oil.
Sriracha - feel free to add more to taste if you like it spicy! Sambal Oelek with a drizzle of honey makes a good substitute for sriracha.
