Crispy and juicy rebozados in air frying
1/2 cup of flour for all use 🌾
1/2 teaspoon of dry dill 🌿
1/2 teaspoon of ground black pepper 🌶️
1 big egg 🥚
1/2 cup of 2% milk 🥛
1 teaspoon of spicy sauce (Tabasco or Sriracha type) 🔥
1 cup panko breadcrumbs (more crispy and light than the traditional) 🍞
20-25 raw prawns, peeled and desvented 🦐
Cooking oil spray (or a little spray oil) 🧴
Optional: Seafood cocktail sauce to accompany and lemon slices to give that citrus touch that never fails 🍋.
The air fryer begins by preheating 190 ° C.an ideal temperature to get a spectacular gold and crispy texture without cooking.
In a bowl mixes the flour with dill and pepper. This dry mixture will be the basis for the empanado to adhere and contribute a very aromatic flavor that contrasts with the freshness of the seafood.
In another bowl, beat the egg along with milk and spicy sauce. This spicy touch is key to giving a unique character to prawns and that the dish has personality without complications.
Finally, place the Panko breadcrumbs in a third bowl. This layer is the one that brings that light and aerated crispy that only the Panko can offer.
Dip the prawns in the flour mixture, making sure to cover them well, but without exceeding to avoid heavy coating. Shake the excess gently.
Then, it passes the prawns through the liquid mixture of egg, milk and spicy to moisten the surface, and then cover them generously with the breadcrumbs Panko, pressing slightly so that it is well attached.
This triple process (flour-there-panko) is the secret to get a texture that combines a juicy interior with a crunchy and golden outside.
Place the prawns in the air fryer basket in a single layer, so that the hot air circulates perfectly and the empanado is homogeneous. Use a bit of oil spray to boost gold without adding fat.
Cook for some 3 to 4 minutes per side. You will see that the prawns change color and the pie acquires a golden tone, a sign that they are ready to enjoy. If your fryer is small, do it in batches so that they do not pile up and cook evenly.
To serve, accompany them with a fresh cocktail sauce and lemon slices. The contrast between the citrus and the creaminess of the sauce makes each bite irresistible.
In addition to saving oil and reducing calories, the air fryer respects the delicate texture of prawns, leaving juicy and tender meat. Another point in favor is the speed and cleaning it offers: while it is cooked, you can dedicate yourself to preparing the sauce or mount the table without worrying about splashes or fumes.
