- Preheat the air-fryer to 200°C.
- Slice each piece of bread into 4 triangles. Spray both sides with some oil.
- Finely chop the defrosted prawns, or pulse briefly in a food processor, you still want the prawns to have visible chunks and not be completely smooth. Tip into a bowl, season with salt and black pepper and add the chopped chives.
- Stir through the lemon juice and Tabasco, if using. Use a spoon to thickly spread the prawn mixture across all 16 triangles of bread.
- Carefully put the triangles into the air-fryer and spray the tops with some oil. You may have to work in batches. Cook for 8-10 mins, until the edges of the toasts have browned and the prawn topping is cooked through.
- While the toasts cook, stir together the sauce ingredients and spoon into a serving dish.
- Arrange the prawn toasts on a serving plate and garnish with lemon wedges and small heaps of iceberg lettuce. Serve while still warm.
- Tip: Add as much or as little Tabasco as you prefer; a dash goes a long way!
