How nutritional categories are selected
These are indicative recipe estimates based on ingredients, amounts and servings. They help you choose dishes; they do not guarantee a laboratory-tested nutrient value.
- Calcium, iron and vitamin C: estimated contribution of at least 240 mg, 4.2 mg and 24 mg per serving respectively (30% of the adult reference intake).
- High protein: at least 20% of energy from protein. High fibre: at least 3 g per 100 kcal.
- Low carbohydrate: no more than 20 g per serving and 20% of energy from carbohydrate.
- Low energy and low fat: conservative estimates of the prepared dish per 100 g (40 kcal and 3 g fat for solids; 20 kcal and 1.5 g fat for drinks and soups). Uncertain yield is left unclassified.
- Omega-3: estimated at least 0.3 g ALA or 40 mg EPA+DHA per 100 g and per 100 kcal. Products with unknown composition are not counted as zero.

Method
-
If using frozen prawns, thaw them in the fridge and drain. Pat dry and toss with 5 g of the olive oil, reserving the other 5 g.
-
Mix the breadcrumbs with the sweet paprika, white pepper, garlic powder, basil, oregano, cayenne pepper and salt. Press the prawns into the mixture to attach a thin coating; this is not a thick batter.
-
Preheat the empty air fryer for 5 minutes at 190°C. Space the prawns out in the basket and apply the reserved 5 g of oil with a food-safe mister or a brush, taking care not to dislodge the crumbs.
-
Cook for 6–8 minutes at 190°C, turning carefully halfway through. They should be opaque and firm, with no translucent centre; larger prawns may need slightly longer.
-
Serve immediately. The calorie estimate includes all the listed breadcrumbs, even if a little remains after coating.
