Method · 43 min
  1. We mix the shrimp with the olive oil, smoked paprika, garlic powder, salt, pepper, and chili. We let it marinate for at least 30 minutes in the refrigerator.
  2. We cut the mango and avocado into large cubes, and the red bell pepper and red onion into small pieces. We put everything in a salad bowl.
  3. We cook the marinated prawns in the air fryer for 3 minutes at 200°C, or for a few minutes in a frying pan. If the prawns are raw, we adjust the cooking time accordingly.
  4. Add the shrimp to the salad along with the olive oil, salt, and pepper. Chop the fresh cilantro, squeeze the lime, and add everything to the salad.
  5. We mix the salad, sprinkle with sesame seeds and serve.
