Grilled Curry Cheese Prawns (Air-Fried)

Posted on April 16, 2016December 28, 2022 by PatriCa BB 雪冰

image“Curry with Cheese? Yes. One of the less-usual but the best combinations for a seafood dish.”

Actually this cheesy curry prawn dish could be cooked in various ways (of course), on a grill, in a frying pan, in air-fryer (with its non-stick grill pan), or even in a wok! This time, I chose air-frying. Yes, it was easy, no doubt. Its grill pan made the cooking even easier as it’s non stick. It was easier than having it cooked on the mesh basket. Get one and it would make all your grilling (fish, chicken, meat, etc) much easier.

For this recipe, I used an instant curry pack bought from supermarket. Any brand of these ready-packed curry pastes would do the job, but if you want to know which brand was used for this particular cooking, I used Singlong instant fish curry paste (*actual picture of the pack posted in my Instagram, and FB page under comment).

To grill the prawns in nice curled (ball) shape, and to have the flavor truly stayed in the prawns, I peeled off the shells and slitted the back of the prawns open, at the same to devein. I liked to use a pair of scissors to do the slits as I think it’s more convenient to use scissors, for most of my cutting jobs, even for cutting chicken meat. Some might find it easier using a knife, but if you wish to know how did I slit and devein prawns with a pair of scissors, I would demonstrate to you in below video:

This recipe of mine was kinda simple and quick to cook. It allowed flexibility, too. I used yogurt in this recipe instead of coconut milk for healthier option. If you prefer more authentic curry flavor, use coconut milk instead. As for choice of cheese, as desired.

Serves 4-5
Ingredients
500g of medium prawns, peeled with tail remained intact and deveined
4 tablespoons of instant fish curry paste
2 tablespoons of plain yogurt
Pinch of sugar
2 teaspoons of corn flour
1/2 cup of grated mixed cheeses (mixture of Cheddar, Gouda, Maasdam)
1 tablespoon of cooking oil

Method
(1) Preheat air fryer at 160deg Celsius for 10 minutes. Clean and pat dry prawns. Add curry paste, sugar, plain yogurt and corn flour, combine well. Marinate for at least 30 minutes.

(2) Arrange marinated prawns on air fryer grill pan. Do in 2-3 batches as do not over crowd the pan.

(3) Drizzle oil over prawns, and sprinkle cheese. Air fry for 8 minutes. Serve hot with steamed rice.

A serving of my grilled curry prawns counts about 160kcal.

Tips: You may want to lay a sheet of aluminum foil on the air fry drawer (under grill pan) to trap dripping oil from the grilling.
* For plating purpose, or you need some green to the dish, add bits of asparagus onto the prawns towards the end of the air-frying process, say about 1 minute before done.
* Do note that Singlong brand instant curry paste contains permitted preservative in its listed ingredients.
