Morton’s Steakhouse Shrimp Alexander Ingredients

• Jumbo Shrimp: Large, peeled, deveined shrimp perfect for crispy air frying.
• Flour (or a gluten-free alternative): Light flour coating to help breadcrumbs stick evenly.
• Eggs: Beaten eggs create a sticky layer for breading.
• Breadcrumbs (panko works best for crispiness): Panko breadcrumbs give shrimp a golden, crunchy texture.
• Salt and pepper: Salt and pepper for basic, balanced seasoning flavor.
• Optional: paprika, garlic powder, or other seasonings: Spices for extra flavor, color, and mild heat.
• Cooking spray or a little oil: Light oil to help shrimp crisp in air fryer.

How To Make Morton’s Steakhouse Shrimp Alexander

​Step 1: Pat shrimp dry with paper towels. Season with salt, pepper, and optional spices.

Step 2: Arrange three shallow bowls: one with flour, one with beaten eggs, and one with breadcrumbs (plus any extra seasonings).

Step 3: Coat each shrimp in flour, shake off excess, dip in egg, then cover with breadcrumbs. Press gently so coating sticks.

Step 4: Preheat to 400 degrees F (200°C) for 3-5 minutes. Place shrimp in a single layer in the air fryer basket. Lightly spray with cooking spray or drizzle a bit of oil for extra crispiness.

Step 5: Set cook time for 7-9 minutes, flipping halfway, until golden and cooked through.

Step 6: Transfer shrimp to a plate and serve immediately with dipping sauce, lemon wedges, or over salad or pasta.

Morton’s Steakhouse Shrimp Alexander Recipe Tips

• Use jumbo shrimp: Larger shrimp hold up better in the creamy sauce without overcooking.
• Pat shrimp dry: Removing excess moisture ensures the sauce clings evenly.
• Low and slow for sauce: Simmer cream and Parmesan gently to avoid curdling.
• Fresh parsley garnish: Adds color and a bright, herbal flavor.
• Serve immediately : This dish is best enjoyed hot for creamy, indulgent texture.

Storing, Freezing and Reheating Instructions

• Storing: Store leftover Shrimp Alexander in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Reheat gently on the stovetop or in the microwave to preserve the creamy sauce.
• Freezing: Freezing is not recommended, as the creamy Parmesan sauce may separate and become grainy when thawed. If necessary, freeze shrimp and sauce separately in airtight containers for up to 1 month.
• Reheating: Reheat leftovers slowly over low heat on the stovetop, stirring frequently to keep the sauce smooth. You can also microwave in short intervals, stirring in between, until heated through.
