AIR FRYER SHRIMP

Air Fryer Shrimp image

Fish fry seasoning, egg, and a spritz of oil are all you need to make these tasty, crispy air fryer shrimp! Use your favorite brand of fish fry breading mix. Serve with cocktail sauce, lemon-garlic aioli, or whatever you prefer! I like to use a Misto® sprayer with my own oil, but feel free to use regular cooking spray.

Spray basket of the air fryer with cooking spray and place shrimp inside, making sure shrimp do not overlap. You may have to do two batches depending on the size of your air fryer. Mist shrimp with cooking spray.

Tips:

For the best results, use shrimp that are peeled and deveined with the tail on. This will help keep the shrimp moist and flavorful.
If you are using frozen shrimp, be sure to thaw them completely before cooking. This will help ensure that they cook evenly.
To make the shrimp extra crispy, coat them in a mixture of cornstarch and flour before cooking. This will help create a golden brown crust.
Be sure to preheat your air fryer before cooking the shrimp. This will help the shrimp cook evenly and prevent them from sticking to the basket.
Cook the shrimp in a single layer in the air fryer basket. This will help ensure that they cook evenly and don't steam.
Shake the air fryer basket halfway through cooking to ensure that the shrimp cook evenly.
Serve the shrimp immediately with your favorite dipping sauce.

Air fryer crispy shrimp is a quick and easy appetizer or main course that is sure to please everyone. The shrimp are cooked to perfection in the air fryer, resulting in a crispy exterior and a tender, juicy interior.
