Ingredients

Scale

Shrimp and Marinade

  • 1 pound peeled and deveined medium fresh shrimp
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice (natural)
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder (natural)
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ¼ teaspoon black pepper

Parmesan Coating

  • ½ cup plant-based parmesan
  • ¾ cup panko breadcrumbs
  • Optional: 1 teaspoon finely chopped parsley
  • Optional: Pinch of red pepper flakes or smoked paprika for spice

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Shrimp: Pat the fresh shrimp dry with paper towels to remove moisture. In a medium bowl, toss shrimp with olive oil, lemon juice, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper until evenly coated.
  2. Create the Parmesan Coating: In a shallow bowl, mix plant-based parmesan, panko breadcrumbs, and any optional herbs or spices you choose to add for extra flavor.
  3. Coat the Shrimp: Dip each shrimp into the parmesan and breadcrumb mixture, pressing lightly to ensure the coating adheres well to each piece for maximum texture.
  4. Air Fry to Perfection: Preheat the air fryer to 400°F (200°C). Place shrimp in a single layer in the basket without overcrowding. Cook for 8 to 10 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through to promote even browning. Shrimp should be crispy and opaque when done.
  5. Garnish and Serve: Remove shrimp from the air fryer and sprinkle fresh parsley on top if desired. Serve immediately while warm for the best flavor and crunch.

Notes

  • Pat shrimp dry to ensure crispiness during air frying.
  • Do not overcrowd the air fryer basket for even cooking.
  • Shake or flip shrimp halfway through cooking for uniform golden crust.
  • Adjust cooking time based on shrimp size to prevent overcooking.
  • Customize seasoning amounts to taste before cooking.
