Air-Fryer Coconut Panko Prawns and Peanut Sauce

by Nathan Anthony

This is such a quality work-from-home lunch. They are lovely with a salad or even in some wraps. Peanut sauce with coconut prawns is a match made in heaven, but if you’re not a fan of peanuts, you could also mix up some sweet chilli, honey, garlic and soy sauce for a honey chilli dressing.

Method

Based on 4 servings, adjust as needed.

Step 1

Defrost your prawns in a bowl of cold water if you didn't defrost them over night. In a bowl, combine the breadcrumbs and coconut, and season with salt and pepper.

Step 2

Put the flour into one bowl and the beaten egg in another. Coat the defrosted prawns in the flour, then dip into the egg, shaking of any excess, then roll them in the breadcrumb mix to coat.

Step 3

Spray really well with a low-calorie spray and air-fry at 200°C for 10 minutes.

Step 4

While the prawns are cooking, whip up your peanut sauce by combining the smooth peanut butter, lime juice, soy sauce, garlic powder and groud ginger in a bowl. Add around 150ml of water (to serve 4), a little more if it looks too thick.

Step 5

Serve the prawns with the peanut sauce, a few baby gem lettuce leaves, sliced spring onions and a few sliced radishes you like. If you have any fresh herbs that need using up (coriander, mint, basil), these will go well also.
