Introduction
This is such a quality work-from-home lunch. They are lovely with a salad or even in some wraps. Peanut sauce with coconut prawns is a match made in heaven, but if you’re not a fan of peanuts, you could also mix up some sweet chilli, honey, garlic and soy sauce for a honey chilli dressing.

Essential kit
You will need: an air fryer.
Method
In a bowl, combine the breadcrumbs and coconut, and season with salt and pepper.
Put the flour into one bowl and the beaten egg in another. Coat the prawns in the flour, then dip into the egg, shaking off any excess, then roll them in the breadcrumb mix to coat.
Spray really well with a low-calorie spray and air-fry at 200°C for 10 minutes.
While the prawns are cooking, whip up your peanut sauce by combining all the ingredients in a bowl. Add some more water if it looks too thick.
Serve the prawns with the peanut sauce.
