Air Fryer Shrimp

Ingredients

• 500g shrimp or prawns, peeled
• 35 cherry tomatoes
• 12 green finger chillies, left whole
• FOR THE FIRST MARINADE
• Juice of one lime
• 1 tbsp rapeseed (canola) oil
• 1 tbsp garlic and ginger paste
• ¼ teaspoon ground turmeric (optional)
• 1 teaspoon salt
• ½ teaspoon finely ground white pepper
• FOR THE SECOND MARINADE
• 3 tablespoons Greek yogurt
• 1 tablespoon single cream
• 1 tbsp garlic and ginger paste
• 1 green chilli, finely chopped
• 1 tablespoon chopped fresh coriander
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 teaspoon ajwain (carom) seeds (optional)
• 1 teaspoon red chilli powder

Steps

1. Place the shrimp in a dish, mix in all the ingredients for the first marinade and set aside while you prepare the second marinade or up to 20 minutes.
2. Mix all the ingredients for the second marinade and massage them into the shrimp. You can let the shrimp marinate for another 20 minutes or go straight to cooking. The longer marinating time does come with flavour benefits.
3. Thread the shrimp, tomatoes and chillies on wooden skewers that have been soaked in water for 30 minutes.
4. Preheat your airfryer to 200C/400F and Cook for 8 minutes or until the shrimp begin to char in places and are cooked through.
5. Serve hot on their own or with a good hot sauce, chapattis and your preferred salad vegetables.
