Air Fryer Popcorn Shrimp image

Super light and crispy popcorn shrimp made in an air fryer. I like to leave the tails on as a handle but feel free to remove them. Serve with cocktail sauce and lemon wedges if desired.

12 ounces large shrimp, peeled and deveined
¼ cup all-purpose flour
1 egg
1 cup panko bread crumbs
½ teaspoon paprika
½ teaspoon onion powder
¼ teaspoon salt
⅛ teaspoon ground black pepper
nonstick cooking spray

Steps:

  • Place shrimp in a large bowl. Sprinkle flour over the top and toss until shrimp are evenly coated in flour. Beat egg in a separate bowl. Combine panko bread crumbs, paprika, onion powder, salt, and pepper in a third bowl.
  • Dip each flour-coated shrimp in egg, toss in panko mixture, and place on a baking sheet. Let rest for 5 minutes while the air fryer is preheating.
  • Preheat air fryer to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C) for 5 minutes.
  • Spray the basket of the air fryer with cooking spray. Arrange 1/2 of the shrimp in the basket. Mist the top of each shrimp with cooking spray.
