Instructions
Creating Crispy Garlic Parmesan Shrimp Made Easy in the Air Fryer is simple if you follow these steps:
1. Prepare the Shrimp: Rinse the shrimp under cold water and pat them dry with paper towels. This helps the coating stick better.
2. Mix the Coating: In a large mixing bowl, combine the breadcrumbs, grated Parmesan cheese, minced garlic, paprika, salt, and pepper. Mix until well combined.
3. Coat the Shrimp: In a separate bowl, toss the shrimp with melted butter and olive oil. Then, dip each shrimp into the breadcrumb mixture, ensuring they are fully coated.
4. Preheat the Air Fryer: Preheat your air fryer to 400°F (200°C) for about 5 minutes.
5. Cook the Shrimp: Place the coated shrimp in the air fryer basket in a single layer. Cook for 10-12 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through to ensure even cooking. The shrimp should be golden brown and crispy when done.
