Servings: 4

Ingredients

Cooking spray (as needed)
Egg (1, beaten)
Black pepper (1/2 teaspoon)
Salt (1/2 teaspoon)
Paprika (1 teaspoon)
Garlic powder (1 teaspoon)
Parmesan cheese (1/2 cup, grated)
Breadcrumbs (1 cup)
Prawns (1 pound, peeled and deveined)
Mayonnaise (1/2 cup)
Garlic, minced (2 cloves)
Lemon juice (1 tablespoon)
Chili flakes (1/4 teaspoon (optional for extra heat))

Instructions

Preheat the air fryer to 400°F (200°C).
In a shallow bowl, combine the breadcrumbs, Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper.
In another bowl, dip each prawn into the beaten egg, ensuring it's well-coated, then press it into the breadcrumb mixture, making sure to cover all sides.
Arrange the coated prawns in a single layer in the greased air fryer basket. Avoid overcrowding for even cooking.
Lightly spray the prawns with cooking spray to ensure a golden finish.
Air fry for 8-10 minutes, flipping the prawns halfway through cooking until they are golden brown and cooked through.
While the prawns are cooking, prepare the zesty garlic dip by combining mayonnaise, minced garlic, lemon juice, and chili flakes in a small bowl. Mix well and adjust seasoning to taste.
Serve the crispy air fryer prawns hot with the zesty garlic dip on the side.
