AIR FRYER SHRIMP
Lemon and pepper are used to season this air fryer prawn recipe, making it a tasty, quick and simple supper option!
This recipe for air-fried prawns is low-carb and keto-friendly by accident, but it doesn’t sacrifice flavour.
I liken it to grilled prawns because it quickly cooks fresh prawns and consistently produces deliciously juicy prawns
