Tips for Perfect Air Fryer Prawns
Pat Dry Before Seasoning – Remove excess moisture for better crispiness.
Use a Light Coat of Oil – A small amount of olive oil or cooking spray helps achieve a crispy texture without making them greasy.
Don’t Overcrowd the Basket – Cook in a single layer for even cooking and a crispy finish.
Preheat Your Air Fryer – This ensures even cooking and a nice sear on the prawns.
Watch the Cook Time – Prawns cook quickly (5-8 minutes at 375°F/190°C), so avoid overcooking to keep them juicy.
