Categories     dinner     lunch

Time 30m

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 pound raw shrimp (peeled and deveined)
1 egg white (3 tbsp)
1/2 cup all purpose flour
3/4 cup panko bread crumbs
1 tsp paprika
McCormick's Grill Mates Montreal Chicken Seasoning to taste
salt and pepper to taste
cooking oil
1/3 cup plain, non-fat Greek yogurt
2 tbsp Sriracha
1/4 cup sweet chili sauce

Steps:

  • Preheat Air Fryer to 400 degrees.
  • Season the shrimp with the seasonings.
  • Place the flour, egg whites, and panko bread crumbs in three separate bowls.
  • Create a cooking station. Dip the shrimp in the flour, then the egg whites, and the panko bread crumbs last.
  • When dipping the shrimp in the egg whites, you do not need to submerge the shrimp. Do a light dab so that most of the flour stays on the shrimp. You want the egg white to adhere to the panko crumbs.
  • Spray the shrimp with cooking oil.
  • Add the shrimp to the Air Fryer basket. Cook for 4 minutes. Open the basket and flip the shrimp to the other side. Cook for an additional 4 minutes or until crisp.

2 tablespoons Sriracha sauce
1 pound raw shrimp, peeled and deveined
2 cups panko bread crumbs
1 tablespoon Cajun seasoning
2 cups vegetable oil for frying

  • For a healthier version of this recipe, you can use whole wheat panko breadcrumbs and omit the butter.
