Ingredients

Scale

Shrimp

  • 1 pound raw shrimp, peeled and deveined

Coating

  • 1/2 cup panko breadcrumbs
  • 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese (freshly grated preferred)
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • Salt, to taste
  • Black pepper, to taste

Others

  • Olive oil spray (or 1 tablespoon olive oil for tossing)
  • Lemon wedges (optional, for serving)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Shrimp: Start with raw, peeled, and deveined shrimp. Pat them dry thoroughly using paper towels to help the coating stick better and prevent steaming inside the air fryer.
  2. Mix the Coating: In a shallow bowl, combine panko breadcrumbs, freshly grated Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to create the flavorful breadcrumb coating.
  3. Coat the Shrimp: Lightly spray the shrimp with olive oil spray or briefly toss them with about 1 tablespoon olive oil. Press each shrimp firmly into the breadcrumb mixture, making sure all sides are evenly coated.
  4. Preheat the Air Fryer: Set your air fryer to 400°F (200°C) and let it preheat for about 3 minutes to ensure even cooking and crispiness.
  5. Air Fry the Shrimp: Arrange the coated shrimp in a single layer inside the air fryer basket without overcrowding. Cook for 6 to 8 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the shrimp are cooked through and the coating turns golden and crispy.
  6. Serve Immediately: Carefully remove the shrimp from the air fryer and transfer to a serving plate. Add a squeeze of lemon or your preferred garnish for an extra burst of flavor and enjoy hot for the best texture.

Notes

  • Don’t overcrowd the air fryer basket to ensure even cooking and crispy coating.
  • Pat dry shrimp thoroughly to help the coating adhere and crisp up nicely.
  • Use freshly grated Parmesan cheese for optimal melt and crispness.
  • Adjust cook time based on the size of your shrimp; start checking after 6 minutes to avoid overcooking.
  • Serve immediately to enjoy the shrimp at their crispiest.
