  • Author: Chef Ethan Sam
  • Total Time: 26 minute

Ingredients

– 1 pound large shrimp, peeled and deveined
– 1 cup breadcrumbs (Panko or regular)
– ½ cup grated Parmesan cheese
– 3 tablespoons olive oil
– 4 cloves garlic, minced
– 1 teaspoon paprika
– ½ teaspoon salt
– ¼ teaspoon black pepper
– 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
– Lemon wedges (for serving)


Instructions

Making Crispy Garlic Parmesan Shrimp in the air fryer is a breeze when you follow these simple steps:

1. Prepare the Shrimp: Start by rinsing the shrimp under cold water and patting them dry with paper towels. This helps the coating adhere better.
2. Mix the Coating: In a bowl, combine the breadcrumbs, grated Parmesan cheese, minced garlic, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Mix until evenly combined.
3. Coat the Shrimp: In another bowl, drizzle the olive oil over the shrimp and toss to coat. Then, dip each shrimp into the breadcrumb mixture, pressing lightly to ensure an even coating.
4. Preheat the Air Fryer: Preheat your air fryer to 400°F (200°C) for about 5 minutes.
5. Arrange in the Air Fryer: Place the coated shrimp in a single layer in the air fryer basket. Make sure they are not overcrowded to ensure even cooking.
6. Cook the Shrimp: Air fry the shrimp for 8-10 minutes, flipping them halfway through. They should be golden brown and cooked through.
7. Garnish and Serve: Once done, remove the shrimp from the air fryer, garnish with chopped parsley, and serve with lemon wedges on the side.

These simple steps will lead you to perfectly crispy and flavorful shrimp that everyone will love!
