• Easy Prawn Toast (Shrimp Toast) in an Airfryer

    Indulge in this delightful twist on a classic Asian starter with our Easy Prawn Toast recipe, perfectly tailored for the air fryer. These golden bites are a staple in many dim sum menus, but making them at home has never been simpler. The air fryer ensures a crispy exterior while keeping the prawns succulent and flavourful.

    Ingredients:

    • 200g raw prawns, peeled and deveined
    • 2 spring onions, finely chopped
    • 1 clove garlic, minced
    • 1 teaspoon ginger, grated
    • 2 tablespoons soy sauce
    • 1 tablespoon sesame oil
    • 4 slices of white bread, crusts removed
    • Sesame seeds for garnish
    • Fresh coriander for serving

    Method:

    1. Prepare the Prawns: In a food processor, blend the prawns, spring onions, garlic, ginger, soy sauce, and sesame oil until smooth. The mixture should be thick enough to spread easily onto the bread.

    2. Assemble: Spread a generous layer of the prawn mixture onto each slice of bread. Sprinkle with sesame seeds for that signature crunch.

    3. Air Fry: Preheat your air fryer to 200°C (390°F). Place the slices in a single layer in the basket, ensuring they are not overlapping. Air fry for about 8-10 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and crispy.

    4. Serve: Once cooked, remove from the air fryer and allow to cool slightly. Garnish with fresh coriander and serve warm for the best texture and flavour.

    These Easy Prawn Toasts are perfect for a quick nibble or an impressive appetiser at your next gathering. Enjoy the satisfying crunch and the burst of umami flavour that will transport you straight to your favourite dim sum spot!
