Ingredients
  

  • 1 pound large shrimp peeled and deveined
  • 1 cup breadcrumbs panko or regular
  • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper optional for heat
  • Cooking spray or olive oil spray
  • Lemon wedges for serving

Method
 

  1. Preheat the air fryer to 400°F (200°C).
  2. In a shallow bowl, combine the breadcrumbs, garlic powder, paprika, salt, black pepper, and cayenne pepper. Mix well.
  3. In another shallow bowl, place the all-purpose flour. In a third bowl, beat the eggs until well combined.
  4. Dredge each shrimp in the flour, shaking off the excess. Dip it into the beaten eggs, then coat it with the breadcrumb mixture, pressing gently to adhere.
  5. Arrange the breaded shrimp in a single layer in the air fryer basket. Spray lightly with cooking spray or olive oil spray.
  6. Air fry the shrimp for 8-10 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden brown and crispy.
  7. Serve immediately with lemon wedges on the side.
