Method

You’ll need: air fryer · chopping board · knife · grater

1. Pat the prawns dry and mix with the olive oil, crushed garlic, paprika and chilli flakes.
2. Cut the pineapple into cubes and the spring onions into 3 cm pieces, and thread everything alternately onto short skewers with the prawns.
3. Cook the skewers at 200 °C for 6 to 7 minutes without preheating, until the prawns are pink and firm.
4. Stir the skyr with the lime juice, a little lime zest, chopped coriander and salt to make a dip.
5. Serve the skewers hot with the lime dip.

Good to know

Sweet, spicy and cooked in seven minutes: prawns and pineapple are a well-practised team. In the air fryer, the pineapple caramelises at the edges without the prawns drying out.

Swaps

Prawns → cubes of cod (firmer, 2 minutes longer). Pineapple → mango (softer). Skyr → 3.5 % fat yoghurt (milder). Coriander → mint (for anyone who doesn't like coriander).

Cooking tips

Prawns quickly turn rubbery, so check after 6 minutes. Thaw frozen prawns overnight in the fridge and pat them dry well.

Storage

Best eaten fresh; cooked prawns keep for one day at most in the fridge.

Allergens
