Parmesan Garlic Breaded Shrimp in the Air Fryer
Breaded Shrimp in the Air Fryer is insanely good! Made with Parmesan cheese, seasonings, and breadcrumbs, they’re crispy and flavorful!
Ingredients
- 1 pound frozen medium size shrimp deveined, peeled, cleaned, tail off *I get the bag at Sam’s Club frozen section.
- 1/4 cup melted butter I used salted but unsalted can also be used, melted but cooled, 4 tablespoons
- 1 tablespoon olive oil or any oil of your liking
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1/4 teaspoon New Mexico chili powder
- 1/4 cup breadcrumbs
- 2 tablespoons fresh grated Parmigiano cheese more if you want to sprinkle some when serving
- salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl put the frozen shrimp.
- Pour the cooled melted butter, and olive oil and mix to coat the shrimp.
- Sprinkle the salt, garlic powder, Paprika, and Chili Powder and mix so all the seasonings are coating the shrimp.
- Mix the bread crumbs and the Parmigiano and sprinkle over the shrimp. Using 2 big forks or wooden spatulas, toss to evenly distribute the breadcrumbs.
- Place the shrimp into the air fryer basket in a single layer.
- Air Fry at 370 degrees F for 3 minutes, flip, and air fry for an additional 2 to 3 minutes.
- Serve and Enjoy!
Notes
*NOTE* If your butter is warm, it will solidify when it touches the frozen shrimp. the fact that if you use melted butter that has cooled off (this means to melt the butter, mix it, and wait 2 to 3 minutes before pouring over the shrimps.) you will have more time to coat the shrimps before it solidifies.
When pouring the shrimp into the air fryer basket, make sure to use a spatula and get as much of the flavoring from the spices and butter on the shrimps.
