Ingredients

Scale

Shrimp

  • 1 lb large shrimp, peeled and deveined

Coating Mix

  • 1 cup panko breadcrumbs
  • ½ cup freshly grated parmesan cheese
  • 3 garlic cloves, minced
  • 2 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped
  • ½ tsp salt
  • ¼ tsp black pepper

Wet Ingredients

  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tbsp lemon juice

Instructions

  1. Prep the Shrimp: Rinse and pat the shrimp dry thoroughly to ensure they’re clean and will hold the coating well, which is crucial for achieving a perfect crispy texture in the air fryer.
  2. Prepare the Coating: In a bowl, combine the panko breadcrumbs, grated parmesan cheese, minced garlic, salt, pepper, and chopped parsley. This flavorful mixture will form an irresistible crust that clings to each shrimp.
  3. Toss the Shrimp: Drizzle olive oil and lemon juice over the shrimp and toss gently to keep them moist and infuse fresh flavor before coating.
  4. Coat the Shrimp: Dip each shrimp into the breadcrumb mixture, ensuring an even coating. Press lightly to help the coating stick better.
  5. Air Fry to Perfection: Arrange the coated shrimp in a single layer in your air fryer basket without overcrowding. Cook at 400°F (200°C) for 8-10 minutes, shaking or flipping halfway through for even crispness.

Notes

  • Use dry shrimp by patting them thoroughly to maximize crispiness.
  • Do not overcrowd the air fryer basket; cook shrimp in batches if necessary for even cooking.
  • Shake or flip the shrimp halfway through cooking to ensure even browning.
  • Fresh garlic and parmesan cheese significantly enhance the flavor.
  • Adjust cooking time based on shrimp size—larger shrimp may require an extra minute, smaller shrimp need less to avoid overcooking.
  • Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 days.
  • Freeze cooled shrimp individually on a baking sheet before storing in a freezer bag to preserve texture.
  • Reheat in the air fryer at 350°F for 3-5 minutes to restore crispiness, avoid microwaving.
