Quick to prepare and full of flavor - this is sophisticated Asian cuisine for every day. The prawns are marinated in a deliciously fresh lime and ginger mixture - with chili, garlic and a touch of honey for a little sweetness. They are then placed in the airfryer for just 5 minutes, where they are cooked until crispy and juicy. They are accompanied by a wonderfully fluffy coconut rice. Easy to make - but with the wow factor!

160 g Black Tiger prawns, easy peel
1 tbsp soy sauce

Preparation

First, rinse the 180 g of jasmine rice thoroughly under cold water several times until the water runs clear - this prevents the rice from becoming sticky.
Then place the jasmine rice in a pan with 200 ml of coconut milk, 100 ml of water, 1 tsp of salt and 30 g of coconut flakes. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to a minimum, close the lid and cook the rice gently for about 15 minutes. Then remove from the heat and leave to rest for 10 minutes - do not remove the lid. Finally, fluff the rice with a fork.
While the rice is cooking, remove the shells from the prawns and prepare them: To do this, mix 160 g of organic black tiger prawns with 1 tbsp of soy sauce, 1 tsp of sesame oil, the juice and zest of a lime, 2 grated garlic cloves, 1 tsp of ginger, 1 tsp of honey and the deseeded and finely sliced chilli pepper.
Leave the prawns to marinate for about 10-15 minutes. They absorb the marinade almost completely, which gives them a particularly intense flavor when cooked briefly in the airfryer.
Now preheat the airfryer to 200 °C. Place the marinated prawns directly into the basket and cook for a maximum of 5 minutes. They are perfect when they have turned a dark color and are slightly shiny.
To serve, divide the coconut rice between two plates, place the prawns on top and serve with fresh lime wedges. Top with a few slices of chili and fresh coriander leaves.

Tip: For an even richer aroma, you can add a piece of fresh ginger or lemongrass to the pot when cooking the rice - simply remove before serving. This makes the aroma even more intense and harmonizes wonderfully with the flavours of the prawns.
