Ingredients
1 pound raw shrimp, peeled and deveined, tails on
1 cup all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon paprika
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon onion powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
2 large eggs
1 tablespoon water
1 1/2 cups panko breadcrumbs
Cooking spray
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, onion powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix well.
In a second shallow bowl, whisk together the eggs and water until fully combined.
Place the panko breadcrumbs in a third shallow bowl.
Dip each shrimp first into the seasoned flour mixture, coating evenly and shaking off excess.
Next, dip the shrimp into the egg mixture, ensuring full coverage.
Finally, coat the shrimp with panko breadcrumbs, pressing gently to adhere the crumbs.
Place the breaded shrimp in a single layer in the air fryer basket. Spray the shrimp lightly with cooking spray to help them crisp.
Cook the shrimp at 400°F (200°C) for 8 to 10 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the shrimp are golden brown and cooked through.
Remove the shrimp from the air fryer and serve immediately.
