Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams large shrimp, peeled and deveined
- 100 grams all-purpose flour
- 30 grams cornstarch
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 large egg white
- 150 grams panko breadcrumbs
- spray oil
- lemon wedges, for serving
Instructions
Preheat your air fryer to 400°F (200°C).
In a shallow bowl, whisk together the flour, cornstarch, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper.
In a separate bowl, lightly beat the egg whites until frothy.
Place the panko breadcrumbs in a third shallow bowl.
Pat the shrimp dry with paper towels to ensure they crisp up well.
Dredge each shrimp into the flour mixture, shaking off any excess.
Dip the floured shrimp into the egg whites, allowing any excess to drip off.
Roll the shrimp in the panko breadcrumbs, pressing gently to adhere.
Arrange the breaded shrimp in a single layer in the air fryer basket, ensuring they do not touch. You might need to cook the shrimp in batches depending on the size of your air fryer.
Lightly spray the shrimp with oil using the spray bottle to encourage browning.
Cook the shrimp in the air fryer for 5-6 minutes, flip them over, respray with oil, and cook for an additional 4-5 minutes, or until they are golden brown and crispy.
Serve the crispy shrimp immediately with lemon wedges.
