Air-Fryer Breaded Shrimp

While it might seem tempting to get fresh shrimp from the seafood counter, frozen is actually best for this recipe. Leave the tails on or off, depending on your preference.

Ingredient :

  • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon seafood seasoning
  • 1/2 teaspoon dill weed
  • 1/2 teaspoon pepper
  • 1 large egg
  • 1/2 cup 2% milk
  • 1 teaspoon hot pepper sauce
  • 1 cup panko bread crumbs
  • 1 pound uncooked shrimp (26-30 per pound), peeled and deveined
  • Cooking spray
  • Optional: Seafood cocktail sauce and lemon wedges

Directions :

  1. Preheat air fryer to 375°. In a shallow bowl, mix flour, seafood seasoning, dill weed and pepper. In a separate shallow bowl, whisk egg, milk and hot pepper sauce. Place bread crumbs in a third shallow bowl. Dip shrimp in flour to coat both sides; shake off excess. Dip in egg mixture, then in bread crumbs, patting to help adhere.
  2. In batches, arrange shrimp in a single layer in greased air fryer; spritz with cooking spray. Cook until lightly browned and shrimp turn pink, 3-4 minutes on each side. If desired, serve with cocktail sauce and lemon wedges.
