Ingredients

½ cup all-purpose flour
½ tablespoon seafood seasoning (such as Old Bay®)
¼ teaspoon paprika
¼ teaspoon salt
¼ teaspoon dried parsley
⅛ teaspoon ground black pepper
1 pound large shrimp - peeled, deveined, and butterflied with tails on
2 medium eggs, beaten
1 ½ cups panko bread crumbs
nonstick cooking spray

Steps:

Preheat an air fryer to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
Combine flour, seafood seasoning, paprika, salt, parsley, and black pepper in a gallon-sized resealable plastic bag. Close and shake to combine.
Using a paper towel, pat shrimp dry. Working in batches, add shrimp to the seasoned flour and toss to combine. Dip shrimp in the beaten egg and then in the panko bread crumbs. Place breaded shrimp in the basket of the air fryer, butterflied-side down; make sure to not overcrowd.
Spray the tops with nonstick cooking and cook for 3 minutes. Using tongs, flip shrimp over and spray the the tops with nonstick cooking spray. Cook for 4 minutes more or until desired crispness. Serve immediately.
