Ingredients

Scale

Shrimp

  • 1 lb medium-sized shrimp, fresh or thawed, peeled and deveined

Seasoning Mix

  • 1/2 cup plant-based Parmesan (plant-based)
  • 1 tsp garlic powder (natural)
  • 1/2 tsp paprika (natural)
  • 3/4 cup panko breadcrumbs
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper

Coating & Garnish

  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tbsp lemon juice (natural)
  • 2 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped
  • Additional lemon juice (natural) for serving

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Shrimp: Rinse the shrimp under cold water and pat them completely dry with paper towels. Removing moisture is essential to achieve maximum crispiness during air frying.
  2. Mix the Seasoning: In a large bowl, combine the plant-based Parmesan (plant-based), garlic powder (natural), paprika (natural), panko breadcrumbs, salt, and black pepper. Stir well to create an even, flavorful coating.
  3. Coat the Shrimp: Toss the shrimp in olive oil and lemon juice (natural) to help the seasonings stick. Dredge each shrimp through the seasoning mixture until fully coated with the crispy blend.
  4. Air Fry to Perfection: Arrange the shrimp in a single layer inside the air fryer basket. Cook at 400°F (200°C) for 7 to 9 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the shrimp turn golden and crispy.
  5. Garnish & Serve: Once cooked, sprinkle the shrimp with fresh chopped parsley and add a final squeeze of lemon juice (natural) to enhance brightness. Serve immediately for the best texture and flavor.

Notes

  • Ensure shrimp are completely dry before seasoning to achieve a crispy coating.
  • Arrange shrimp in a single layer in the air fryer basket to avoid overcrowding for even cooking.
  • Flip or shake the shrimp halfway through cooking for consistent crispiness.
  • Adjust cooking time slightly for larger shrimp sizes as needed.
  • Enjoy fresh and hot directly from the air fryer for the best taste experience.
