Crispy Air-Fried Tiger Prawns with Lemon Herb Dip

1.Preheat the air fryer to 200°C (390°F) for 5 minutes.

2.In a shallow bowl, whisk the egg until smooth.

3.In another shallow bowl, combine panko breadcrumbs, grated Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper.

4.Pat the tiger prawns dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture.

5.Dip each prawn first into the whisked egg, allowing excess to drip off, then coat evenly with the breadcrumb mixture, pressing gently to adhere.

6.Place the coated prawns in a single layer in the air fryer basket, ensuring they do not overlap. You may need to cook in batches.

7.Lightly spray or brush the prawns with olive oil to promote crispiness.

8.Air fry the prawns at 200°C (390°F) for 8-10 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden brown and crispy. The prawns should be opaque and cooked through.

9.While the prawns cook, prepare the lemon herb dip by combining Greek yogurt, mayonnaise, lemon juice, lemon zest, parsley, dill, and minced garlic in a small bowl. Mix well and season with salt and black pepper to taste.

10.Serve the crispy air-fried tiger prawns immediately with the refreshing lemon herb dip on the side.
