Air Fryer Fried Shrimp Recipe

Calories: 104kcal
Author: This Worthey Life

Ingredients

  • 1.5 – 2 lb bag Frozen XL Peeled Uncooked Shrimp Thawed
  • 2 cups Seasoned Panko Bread Crumbs
  • 1 cup All-Purpose Flour
  • ½ tbsp Old Bay Seasoning
  • ½ tbsp garlic powder
  • ½ tbsp cornstarch
  • 1 egg
  • 1 ½ cups of water

Instructions

  • Start by preparing the shrimp. Make sure they are thawed and peeled. 
  • Wash them and pat them dry. Set aside.
  • Preheat Air Fryer to 375 degrees.
  • Put the Panko Bread Crumbs in a small bowl. Set aside.
  • In a large bowl, combine the flour, Old Bay, garlic powder, and cornstarch.
  • Next, add the egg and water to the bowl.
  • Whisk until it’s all thoroughly combined. You should have a thick, wet batter.
  • Holding the shrimp by the tail, dip each shrimp individually into the batter once. Let any excess batter drip off into the bowl.
  • Then dip the shrimp into the Panko Crumbs, ensuring every spot is covered except for the tail!
  • Place shrimp in Air Fryer basket. I am spacing them out just enough so that they aren’t touching.
  • Place basket in Air Fryer. Close. Set time for about 6-8 minutes. Shrimp do not take long to cook. When the coating is golden brown and crispy, that’s when they’re ready!
  • Repeat until you’ve cooked all shrimp.
