Ingredients

Scale

Ingredients for Air Fryer Breaded Shrimp:

  • 1 pound large shrimp, peeled and deveined
  • 1 cup breadcrumbs (seasoned or plain)
  • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 eggs, beaten
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Cooking spray

Instructions

  1. Preheat your air fryer to the recommended temperature for seafood.
  2. In three separate bowls, set up a breading station. Place flour in one bowl, beaten eggs in another, and a mixture of breadcrumbs, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper in the third.
  3. Shake off extra flour after dredging each shrimp in it.
  4. Toss the floured shrimp into the beaten eggs, making sure to coat them well.
  5. Roll the shrimp in the breadcrumb mixture, pressing gently to adhere the breadcrumbs.
  6. Place the breaded shrimp in a single layer in the air fryer basket, ensuring they are not touching.
  7. Lightly spray the breaded shrimp with cooking spray to help achieve a crispy texture.
  8. Air fry the shrimp for the recommended time, usually 8-10 minutes, flipping halfway through the cooking time for even crispiness.
  9. Check for doneness by ensuring the shrimp are golden brown and cooked through.
  10. Serve the Air Fryer Breaded Shrimp hot with your favorite dipping sauce.
  11. Enjoy this quick and delicious air-fried shrimp, a healthier alternative to deep-frying that doesn’t compromise on flavor or crunch!
