Air Fryer Crispy Shrimp -- Indulge in the delectable taste and satisfying crunch of our Air Fryer Crispy Shrimp! This recipe is a game-changer if you're a seafood enthusiast or simply craving a crispy, flavorful treat.

Ingredients 

  • 1 pound large shrimp, peeled and deveined
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 cup panko breadcrumbs
  • 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon paprika
  • 1/2 teaspoon Salt and black pepper, to taste
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/4 teaspoon Cayenne pepper, optional, for heat

Instructions

  • Preheat the Air Fryer: Preheat your air fryer to 400°F (200°C) for about 5 minutes.
  • Prepare the Shrimp: In a bowl, season the shrimp with salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and paprika. If you like it spicy, add a pinch of cayenne pepper for some heat.
  • Coating Station: Set up a coating station with three bowls. Place flour in one, whisked egg in another, and panko breadcrumbs in the third.
  • Coat the Shrimp: Take a shrimp and coat it in flour, shaking off any excess. Then dip it into the egg, allowing any excess to drip off. Finally, coat the shrimp thoroughly with panko breadcrumbs, pressing gently to adhere.
  • Repeat for All Shrimp: Repeat the process for all the shrimp, placing them on a plate or tray as you go.
  • Air Fry: Once the air fryer is preheated, arrange the coated shrimp in a single layer in the air fryer basket. Depending on the size of your air fryer, you may need to do this in batches.
  • Lightly Spray with Olive Oil: Lightly spray the shrimp with olive oil using an olive oil spray bottle. This will help them achieve that golden crispiness.
  • Air Fry: Cook the shrimp at 400°F (200°C) for 8-10 minutes, flipping them halfway through the cooking time, or until they are golden brown and crispy.
  • Serve: Remove the crispy shrimp from the air fryer, let them cool slightly, and serve them hot. They're delicious on their own or with your favorite dipping sauce.
  • Enjoy: Dive into the delectable crispiness of your homemade air-fried shrimp, savoring the delightful combination of tender seafood and a satisfying crunch.
