Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound large shrimp, peeled and deveined
- 0.5 cup cornstarch
- 0.5 cup cornmeal
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 0.5 cup egg substitute
- 0.5 cup non-dairy milk
- olive oil spray
- lemon wedges, for serving
Instructions
Thoroughly rinse the shrimp under cold water and pat dry with paper towels.
In a shallow dish, combine the cornstarch, cornmeal, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, black pepper, and smoked paprika. Stir until evenly mixed.
In another shallow dish, mix the egg substitute with the non-dairy milk until smooth.
Dip each shrimp into the egg and milk mixture ensuring it is fully coated, then dredge into the cornstarch and cornmeal mixture, pressing gently to adhere the coating to the shrimp.
Preheat your air fryer to 400°F (200°C) for about 5 minutes.
Lightly spray the air fryer basket with olive oil spray to prevent sticking.
Arrange the coated shrimp in a single layer in the air fryer basket, being careful not to overcrowd. You may need to cook the shrimp in batches depending on the size of your air fryer.
Lightly spray the tops of the shrimp with olive oil spray.
Air fry for about 8-10 minutes, flipping halfway through the cooking time, until the shrimp are crispy and cooked through.
Carefully remove the crispy air-fried shrimp from the air fryer and place them on a plate. Serve with lemon wedges on the side.
