Super light and crispy popcorn shrimp made in an air fryer. I like to leave the tails on as a handle but feel free to remove them. Serve with cocktail sauce and lemon wedges if desired.

Ingredients

  • 12 ounces large shrimp , peeled and deveined
  • 0.25 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 egg
  • 1 cup panko bread crumbs
  • 0.5 teaspoons paprika
  • 0.5 teaspoons onion powder
  • 0.25 teaspoons salt
  • 0.13 teaspoons ground black pepper
  • nonstick cooking spray

Instructions

  1. 1

    Place shrimp in a large bowl. Sprinkle flour over the top and toss until shrimp are evenly coated in flour. Beat egg in a separate bowl. Combine panko bread crumbs, paprika, onion powder, salt, and pepper in a third bowl.

  2. 2

    Dip each flour-coated shrimp in egg, toss in panko mixture, and place on a baking sheet. Let rest for 5 minutes while the air fryer is preheating.

  3. 3

    Preheat air fryer to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C) for 5 minutes.

  4. 4

    Spray the basket of the air fryer with cooking spray. Arrange 1/2 of the shrimp in the basket. Mist the top of each shrimp with cooking spray.

  5. 5

    Cook for 4 minutes. Using tongs, flip each shrimp over and mist any chalky spots with cooking spray. Cook 4 minutes more. Repeat with remaining shrimp.
