Ingredients
1 pound raw shrimp, peeled and deveined, tails removed
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon paprika
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
2 large eggs
1 cup panko bread crumbs
2 tablespoons olive oil
Instructions
Preheat the Ninja Air Fryer to 400°F (200°C) for 5 minutes.
In a shallow bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, paprika, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper.
In a second shallow bowl, beat the eggs until smooth.
Place the panko bread crumbs in a third shallow bowl.
Pat the shrimp dry with paper towels.
Dredge each shrimp first in the flour mixture, shaking off excess, then dip into the beaten eggs, and finally coat with panko bread crumbs. Place coated shrimp on a plate.
Lightly spray or brush the shrimp with olive oil to help them crisp up during air frying.
Arrange the shrimp in a single layer in the air fryer basket, making sure they do not overlap. You may need to cook in batches.
Air fry the shrimp at 400°F (200°C) for 7-8 minutes, flipping halfway through, until they are golden brown and crispy.
Remove the shrimp from the air fryer and serve immediately with your favorite dipping sauce.
