Instructions
 

  • Preheat the air fryer to 390 and lightly coat the tray with olive oil using a pastry brush.
  • Whisk the egg in a small bowl. Mix the panko and Old Bay in another small bowl.
  • Dip each shrimp in the egg, followed by the panko. Give them a gentle shake between the egg and panko.
  • Place the shrimp in a single layer, leaving space between each one, and cook for 8 to 9 minutes.

Notes

Storage
  • Refrigerate leftovers for up to 3 days in an airtight container. 
  • To reheat, microwave the shrimp at 30-second intervals or air fry them at 370 for a couple of minutes. 
Tips for Choosing Fresh Shrimp
  • When buying fresh shrimp, look for bright, shiny shrimp with a briny, sea smell. 
  • Shrimp should never be dull or smell fishy. 
  • If the shrimp have heads, the eyes should be bright and not sunken. 
Thawing Frozen Shrimp
  • It's best to thaw shrimp overnight in the refrigerator. 
  • If you need to thaw your shrimp faster, submerge the bag in cold water. 
  • Never defrost shrimp in hot water or at room temperature.
