Notes
- If you want your shrimp to cook evenly and without overdone spots, make sure the air fryer is not too full. Shrimp should be cooked in batches, with only one layer per pan.
- You can make sure the prawns are crispy on all sides by turning them over halfway through.
- To add a little crunch and breading, top with panko bread crumbs and parmesan Parmesan.
