Equipment
- Air Fryer
- Shallow Bowls
Ingredients
- 1 pound shrimp, peeled and deveined (20-25 count)
- 1/2 cup all purpose flour
- 2 large eggs
- 2 tablespoons milk
- 1 1/2 cups panko breadcrumbs
- Olive oil spray
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
Instructions
- Preheat the air fryer using the preheat function or by heating it at 400°F/200°C for 5 minutes.
- To create a breading station, set out three shallow bowls. Add the flour to one bowl, whisk the eggs and milk in a second bowl and add the breadcrumbs to the third bowl. Season each bowl with a pinch of salt and pepper.
- Working one at a time, dip a shrimp into the flour, followed by the egg, and then the breadcrumbs. Repeat until all of the shrimp are coated.
- Spray the air fryer basket with olive oil spray and place as many shrimp as will fit in a single layer– make sure to not overcrowd the pan!
- Spritz the shrimp with olive oil spray and cook for 10 minutes, or until golden brown.
- Repeat steps 4-5 with any remaining shrimp.
- Sprinkle the cooked shrimp with salt and serve them with cocktail sauce, tartar sauce, or sweet chili sauce and enjoy immediately.
