Garlic prawns are a crowd-pleaser at any table — and the air fryer gets them perfectly juicy with a light golden edge in under 10 minutes. No splatter, no fuss.
Ingredients
- 500g raw king prawns, peeled and deveined (tails on)
- 3 garlic cloves, minced
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 1 tbsp butter, melted
- 1 tsp smoked paprika
- Zest and juice of ½ lemon
- Salt and pepper
- Fresh parsley, to serve

Method
- Toss prawns with garlic, olive oil, butter, paprika, lemon zest, salt, and pepper. Marinate for 10 minutes.
- Preheat air fryer to 200°C.
- Arrange prawns in a single layer in the basket — don’t overcrowd.
- Cook for 6–8 minutes, shaking halfway, until pink and just cooked through.
- Squeeze over lemon juice and scatter with fresh parsley.
