If your air fryer has become your go-to for convenient meals, it’s time to add breaded torpedo prawns to the rotation. Straight from the freezer to golden and crispy in minutes, they’re one of the easiest seafood recipes for a quick dinner, snack, or shared plate.
Why the Air Fryer Is Perfect for Torpedo Prawns
The air fryer gives frozen seafood like our breaded torpedo prawns that deep-fried crunch without the mess or extra oil of pan-frying. It’s fast, easy to clean up, and gives you consistent results every time, ideal for busy weeknights or when you just want a quick snack without much thought.
At $22 per kg, they’re an easy, wallet-friendly option to keep in the freezer for whenever the craving hits.
How to Air Fry Breaded Torpedo Prawns
- Preheat your air fryer to 200°C.
- Place the prawns in a single layer in the basket, leaving space between each one.
- Cook for 8–10 minutes, turning halfway through, until golden and crispy.
- Check they’re piping hot all the way through before serving.
Tips for the Best Air Fryer Results
- Cook straight from frozen, no need to thaw first.
- Don’t overcrowd the basket; cook in batches if needed so the hot air can circulate properly.
- A light spray of oil can help boost the crunch, but it’s optional.
- Shake or turn the prawns halfway through cooking for even browning on all sides.
