Ingredients

  • 1 pound large shrimp, peeled and deveined
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour (or gluten-free blend)
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 cup panko breadcrumbs
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Cooking spray or olive oil for added crispiness

Instructions

  1. Prep the shrimp: Peel and devein the shrimp, then pat them dry with a paper towel.
  2. Set up your breading station: Place flour seasoned with salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and paprika in one bowl; beat eggs in the second bowl; and place panko breadcrumbs in the third bowl.
  3. Coat the shrimp: Dip each shrimp in the flour mixture, then in the eggs, and finally in the panko breadcrumbs.
  4. Preheat your air fryer: Preheat to 400°F (200°C) for about 5 minutes.
  5. Arrange the shrimp: Spray the air fryer basket lightly with cooking spray and place the shrimp in a single layer.
  6. Fry the shrimp: Air fry for about 8-10 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through.
  7. Serve and enjoy: Remove shrimp and serve immediately with lemon wedges.

Notes

For best results, ensure shrimp are dry before breading. Cook in batches to avoid overcrowding and uneven cooking.
