Air Fryer Fried Shrimp

all purpose flour

tsp black pepper (divided)

tsp kosher salt (divided)

tsp paprika (divided)

panko breadcrumbs

eggs (beaten)

lb. peeled and deveined raw shrimp ((I normally use 21/25))

canola oil cooking spray (or any nonstick spray)

store-bought remoulade sauce

Get out 3 shallow bowls.  To the first one, add flour, 1 tsp black pepper, 1 tsp salt, and 1/2 tsp paprika.  Stir with a fork until combined.

In the second bowl, add 2 eggs and whisk.  In the third bowl, add the panko and the remaining 1 tsp black pepper, 1 tsp salt and 1/2 tsp paprika.  Stir with a fork to combine.

Pat shrimp dry with a paper towel, then coat the shrimp, one at a time, in the flour mixture, then in the eggs, then in the panko mixture.  Set aside on a plate and repeat with remaining shrimp.

Preheat air fryer to 390°F.  Add breaded shrimp in a single layer to the bottom of the air fryer basket.  Lightly spray with a canola oil cooking spray, then cook for 5 minutes.

Shake the basket, lightly spray with oil again, and cook another 5 minutes, or until shrimp is golden brown.

Serve hot, with any dipping sauces you like.

Canola oil

eggs

buttermilk (or milk)

kosher salt

all-purpose flour

onion powder

Heat 1/2-inch of oil in a large, heavy-bottomed skillet over medium heat. Line a large plate with a paper towel, set aside.

In another cake pan, mix together the flour, cornmeal, salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and cayenne pepper.&nbsp;

Add shrimp to the egg mixture and coat well. A few at a time, add the shrimp to the flour and coat completely. Place on a clean plate while you bread the remaining shrimp.&nbsp;

Add shrimp to skillet making sure not to overcrowd the pan. Fry for 3 minutes, until crispy and golden brown. Drain on prepared plate. Continue until all shrimp is fried.&nbsp;

Dipping Sauce

The best fried shrimp recipe is dipped in buttermilk, dredged in a light and crispy seasoned flour coating, and fried to golden brown perfection!

flour

Salt

Old Bay seasoning

buttermilk

peanut oil or vegetable oil, for frying

Optional, for serving: tartar sauce (or other dipping sauce); lemon wedges; fresh parsley

In a shallow bowl, whisk together flour, 1 tablespoon salt, Old Bay seasoning, and black pepper.

Place the buttermilk in a separate shallow bowl.

Pour the oil into a medium Dutch oven or cast iron skillet and warm over medium-high heat until it reaches 375 degrees F.

Meanwhile, pat the shrimp dry and dredge them in the flour mixture first, then coat with buttermilk, and dredge in the flour mixture again. Shake the shrimp after each coating to get off any excess flour or batter.

Working in batches, fry shrimp until golden brown (about 2-3 minutes). Use a slotted spoon to transfer the shrimp to a paper towel-lined tray. Season with additional salt, to taste. You may need to increase the heat to keep the oil at a steady temperature between 350 degrees F and 375 degrees F as the shrimp fry.

Keep the fried shrimp warm in a 200 degree F oven while you fry the remaining batches.

Easy Crispy Fried Shrimp Recipe

400 g raw jumbo shrimp, deveined

tsp salt

tsp white pepper or black pepper

allspice powder

tsp oregano, dried and finely crushed (optional)

tsp thyme leaves, dried (optional)

hot sauce ((optional)

tsp baking powder

paprika

tsp cayenne pepper, powdered ((optional)

tbsp milk (optional)

In a small bowl, rinse the shrimp and pat dry.

Season the shrimp with the shrimp seasoning.

In a small lidded container, prepare the dry mixture, cover and shake to combine.

Add the shrimp to the dry mixture, cover the container and shake to coat the shrimp.

In another small bowl, prepare the egg mixture and whisk together. If you choose to omit the milk, whisk the egg and set aside.

Add the shrimp to the wet (egg) mixture, then stir with a large fork until the shrimp is fully coated.

Return the shrimp to the dry mix container, cover and shake once more.

Heat the cooking oil in a large wide frying pan or wok. To know when the oil is ready, sprinkle a pinch of flour in the oil. When bubbles form around the flour, the oil is at the right temperature.

Add the shrimp to the oil one by one, lightly shaking off the excess flour before.

When you have added all the shrimp to the pot, reduce heat to medium.

Turn each shrimp every 2 minutes until cooked and golden brown all over.

Remove the cooked shrimp onto a plate, lined with a thick paper towel.

Let the shrimp cool for a few minutes, then bless up and enjoy it!

Crunchy Fried Butterfly Shrimp

shrimp (butterflied)

Oil (for deep frying)

In a shallow bowl, mix flour, salt, pepper, and garlic powder. Set aside.

In another shallow bowl, whisk eggs with ⅓ cup of water. Set aside.

Pile breadcrumbs onto a plate, set aside.

On another plate, sprinkle a light coating of panko and set aside.

Carefully cut shrimp along the back and lay it open. Be careful not to cut all the way through the shrimp.

Coat shrimp in flour, shaking to remove excess flour. Then, dip shrimp into egg, allowing excess egg to drip back into egg bowl.

Place egg-coated shrimp into panko bread crumbs, cover with panko and press lightly, making sure all shrimp is covered with panko and the shrimp has remained open. Place coated shrimp onto the plate that was sprinkled with panko.

Continue coating shrimp, adding panko to the plate as needed. You may need to use all 4 cups of panko, depending on the size of shrimp and thickness of egg wash left on shrimp.

Once all shrimp have been coated and placed on the plate, place plate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes and up to 5 hours.

Heat oil in a medium-size pan over medium-high heat until oil sizzles when a few panko crumbs are tossed in the pan.

Fry shrimp in hot oil until shrimp are golden brown. Be careful not to overcook.

Serve immediately with cocktail sauce and lemons.
