Ingredients:
- 500 g of large shrimp, peeled and deveined
- 1 cup of breadcrumbs
- 1/2 cup of all-purpose flour
- 2 eggs
- 1 teaspoon of garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon of paprika
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Cooking spray
Instructions:
Preheat your Air Fryer by Chef James to 200°C (390°F) for 5 minutes.
Meanwhile, prepare the shrimp. In a bowl, lightly beat the eggs and season with garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper to taste. In another bowl, place the all-purpose flour, and in a third bowl, the breadcrumbs.
Dip each shrimp first in the all-purpose flour, then in the beaten egg, and finally in the breadcrumbs, making sure they are well coated at each step.
Once all the shrimp are breaded, place them in the basket of your Air Fryer by Chef James in a single layer, making sure they do not touch each other for even cooking.
Lightly spray the shrimp with cooking spray for a crispy finish.
Place the basket in your Air Fryer and cook the shrimp for 8-10 minutes, or until golden brown and crispy, flipping them halfway through for even cooking.
Once ready, remove the shrimp from the Air Fryer and serve them immediately with your favorite dipping sauce.
