Ingredients
- prawns400 g
- bell pepper1
- onion1
- oil1 tbsp
- red chilli powder1 tsp
- garam masala1/2 tsp
- lemon1 tbsp juice
Method
Cut the vegetables
Cut the bell pepper and onion into chunks about the same size as the prawns. Matching the sizes means the vegetables and prawns cook at the same rate and thread neatly onto the skewers.
Marinate
Toss the prawns, pepper and onion with the oil, chilli powder, garam masala, lemon juice and a pinch of salt. Coating everything together lets the spices flavour the vegetables as well as the prawns.
Thread the skewers
Thread the prawns and vegetables onto skewers, alternating the pieces. Use skewers short enough to lie flat in the basket so everything sits close to the heat and cooks evenly.
Air fry
Lay the skewers in the basket without overlapping and air fry at 190°C for 9 min, turning once. The prawns are done when they are pink, opaque and firm to the touch.
