Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound large shrimp, peeled and deveined
- 0.5 cup cornstarch
- 0.5 cup almond flour
- 1 cup panko breadcrumbs
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon onion powder
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 2 large eggs
- 1 lemon, cut into wedges
- olive oil spray
Instructions
Rinse the shrimp under cold water and pat dry with paper towels. Set aside.
In a medium bowl, mix together the cornstarch, almond flour, and panko breadcrumbs.
Add garlic powder, paprika, onion powder, black pepper, and salt to the dry mixture, and whisk to combine evenly.
In another bowl, beat the eggs thoroughly.
Dip each shrimp into the egg mixture, ensuring they are completely coated.
Next, dredge the shrimp in the dry mixture, pressing lightly to adhere the coating.
Preheat the air fryer to 400°F (200°C).
Line the air fryer basket with parchment paper or lightly spray with olive oil spray.
Arrange the shrimp in a single layer in the air fryer basket, ensuring they do not overlap. This might require cooking in batches.
Lightly spray the tops of the shrimp with olive oil to ensure a crispy finish.
Cook for 8-10 minutes, turning halfway, until the shrimp are golden brown and cooked through.
Serve immediately with lemon wedges on the side for an extra burst of flavor.
