Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound Large shrimp, peeled and deveined
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Onion powder
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground black pepper
- 1 teaspoon Lemon zest
- 1 cup Panko breadcrumbs
- 0.5 cup All-purpose flour
- 2 large Egg whites
Instructions
Preheat your air fryer to 400 degrees Fahrenheit (200 degrees Celsius) for about 5 minutes.
In a shallow bowl, mix the garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, black pepper, lemon zest, and panko breadcrumbs.
In a separate bowl, place the flour.
In a third bowl, lightly beat the egg whites until frothy.
Pat the shrimp dry with a paper towel to ensure crispiness.
Dip each shrimp into the flour, shaking off excess, then into the egg whites, and finally coat evenly with the seasoned panko breadcrumb mixture.
Lightly spray or brush the shrimp with olive oil to enable browning.
Place the coated shrimp in a single layer inside the air fryer basket, ensuring they do not overlap as this can prevent them from getting crispy.
Cook in the preheated air fryer for 5 minutes, then flip the shrimp and cook for another 5 minutes, or until the shrimp are golden brown and crispy.
Serve immediately with lemon wedges or your choice of dipping sauce.
