Ingredients

This recipe was developed at its original yield. Ingredient amounts are automatically adjusted, but cooking times and steps remain unchanged. Note that not all recipes scale perfectly.

Original recipe (1X) yields 4 servings:

• cup all-purpose flour
• 1 tablespoon seafood seasoning (such as Old Bay)
• tablespoon paprika
• teaspoon salt
• teaspoon dried parsley
• teaspoon ground black pepper
• 2 large eggs, beaten
• 12 ounces large shrimp, peeled, deveined, tails left on
• Nonstick cooking spray

Directions

Step 1: Preheat your air fryer to 400F (200C).

Step 2: In a gallon-sized resealable plastic bag, combine the flour, seafood seasoning, paprika, salt, parsley, and black pepper. Seal and shake the bag well to mix evenly.

Step 3: Pour the beaten eggs into a shallow bowl for dipping.

Step 4: Pat the shrimp dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture.

Step 5: Working in batches, place the shrimp in the seasoned flour mixture and toss to coat evenly.

Step 6: Dip the floured shrimp into the beaten eggs, then return them to the flour mixture for a second coating.

Step 7: Arrange the breaded shrimp in the air fryer basket, ensuring they are not crowded. Lightly spray the tops with nonstick cooking spray.

Step 8: Cook the shrimp in the preheated air fryer for 4 minutes. Remove the lid and lightly spray any dry spots with additional nonstick spray.

Step 9: Close the lid and continue cooking for another 3 minutes, or until the shrimp reach your desired crispness.
