Method
Step 1
Coat the prawns in the paprika and some salt and pepper, then pop the prawns in the airfryer for 5-7 minutes at 180°C (355°F) until they turn pink.
Step 2
Mix together all the sauce ingredients in a bowl.
Step 3
Around 2 minutes before the prawns are ready, cut the pittas in half across the middle to create pockets, then air-fry for 2 minutes so they give a warm and crunchy welcome to the prawns.
Step 4
Toss the cooked prawns in the sauce and assemble your pittas with the prawns, cucumber and lettuce, then garnish with chopped chives and a splash of chilli oil, if you like.
