Ingredients

Scale

Shrimp

  • 1 lb medium shrimp, peeled and deveined

Coating and Seasoning

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

Other Ingredients

  • Natural olive oil spray
  • 1 tbsp fresh lemon juice (natural)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Shrimp: Start with clean, peeled, and deveined shrimp. Pat them dry thoroughly to ensure the coating sticks properly and results in the best crunch after air frying.
  2. Mix the Seasoning and Coating: In a bowl, combine plant-based Parmesan, natural breadcrumbs, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Toss everything together until evenly mixed to create a flavorful and textured coating mixture.
  3. Coat the Shrimp: Lightly spray the shrimp with natural olive oil spray, then toss them in the seasoning mixture until each piece is fully coated. This step is key to achieving a perfect golden finish.
  4. Air Fry the Shrimp: Arrange the coated shrimp in a single layer in your air fryer basket. Set the temperature to 400°F and cook for about 8 minutes, flipping halfway through to ensure even cooking and crispiness.
  5. Finish with a Lemon Touch: Once cooked and crispy, gently toss the shrimp with fresh lemon juice to brighten the flavors. Serve immediately for the best taste and texture experience.

Notes

  • Pat dry shrimp thoroughly to help the coating adhere and to achieve optimal crispness.
  • Avoid overcrowding the air fryer basket; arrange shrimp in a single layer for even cooking.
  • Flip shrimp halfway through cooking to ensure golden and crispy results on all sides.
  • Use freshly grated plant-based Parmesan and fresh lemon juice to enhance the dish’s flavor.
  • Customize seasonings such as garlic or spice levels according to personal preference.
