- In a bowl, mix the oil with the lime juice and zest, the chili, garlic, salt and pepper. Add the prawns or shrimp, mix well to coat.
- Transfer the shrimp to the air fryer rack (if you want and for convenience, you can also use a paper air fryer tray ). Cook with the “Prawn” program (160°C) for approx. 8-10 minutes (if the shrimp are large, you may need to extend the time up to 12 minutes). Once finished, remove immediately.
- When serving, you can do so by presenting them in a small serving bowl, or on some slices of toasted bread (several on each slice). An exquisiteness!
Grades
- You can leave the shrimp marinating hours beforehand in the refrigerator, in an airtight container. Tastier than they will be!
