Ingredients
Instructions
**1. Prepare the Celeriac Remoulade:** Finely chop the chives, parsley, and capers. In a bowl, combine these with the juice of the lemon, mayonnaise, buttermilk, and Dijon mustard. Season with salt and black pepper to taste. Peel the celeriac, cut it into quarters, and slice each quarter into thin matchsticks. Add the celeriac to the bowl, toss to combine, and refrigerate until needed.
**2. Set Up Dredging Station:** In three separate shallow bowls, place the following:
- **Flour Bowl:** Mix the plain flour with 1 teaspoon of onion granules and a pinch of salt.
- **Egg Bowl:** Beat the two eggs.
- **Breadcrumbs Bowl:** Combine the panko breadcrumbs with the remaining onion granules, garlic granules, cayenne pepper, Old Bay seasoning, and a pinch of salt.
**3. Coat the Prawns:** Pat the raw king prawns dry with paper towels. Dip each prawn into the flour mixture, ensuring an even coat, then into the beaten eggs, and finally into the breadcrumb mixture, pressing gently to adhere.
**4. Preheat the Air Fryer:** Set the air fryer to 190°C (375°F) and let it preheat for a few minutes.
**5. Air-Fry the Prawns:** Arrange the coated prawns in a single layer in the air fryer basket, ensuring they are not overcrowded. Lightly mist with spray oil on both sides. Air-fry for 7-9 minutes until the breading is crisp and the prawns are cooked through.
**6. Prepare the Rolls and Lettuce:** While the prawns are cooking, shred the iceberg lettuce into thin strips. Slice the submarine rolls in half and toast them lightly in the air fryer for 2-3 minutes until golden.
**7. Assemble the Po' Boys:** Spread a layer of the celeriac remoulade on the bottom half of each toasted roll. Top with shredded lettuce, a few cornichon slices, and the air-fried prawns.
**8. Serve:** Close the rolls, slice them in half if desired, and serve immediately.
**Tips for Best Results:**
- Ensure the prawns are well-dried before coating to achieve a crispier texture.
- Do not overcrowd the air fryer basket; this allows for even cooking.
- For a spicier kick, increase the amount of cayenne pepper in the breadcrumb mixture.
- The celeriac remoulade can be prepared a day in advance to allow flavors to meld.
