Air-fried Garlic Tiger Prawns Recipe

There is a saying, prawns "虾" sound like "har" in Cantonese, meaning sound of laughter "笑哈哈". In Chinese tradition, we will always enjoy big prawns during the CNY festive. Here is my happy prawns dish, air-fried Garlic Tiger Prawns. This simple recipe is ready in 12 minutes. If you are using Small Prawns, reduce the air frying time to 6 - 8 minutes, vice versa if you are using Jumbo Prawns, increase air frying time to about 13 - 15 minutes.

Air-fried Garlic Tiger Prawns.

How to prepare prawns?
Use a pair of scissors to trim the sharp tail (telson), pointed head (roatum) and feelers (antenna). Using the tip of scissors or knife, pierce the prawn right in between the tail and body shell. Use a toothpick to pick the tip of the veins, grab and gently pull. The entire veins will be pull out. Soak trimmed prawns in salt water for a few minutes then drip dry. Done!
