Air Fryer

Ingredients

1 lb large shrimp peeled, deveined, tails on
1 cup panko breadcrumbs
1/2 cup all purpose flour
2 eggs
3/4 tsp salt
1/4 tsp black pepper
nonstick cooking spray

For the Old Bay Ranch Dipping Sauce

1/4 cup ranch dressing
1 tsp Old Bay Seasoning

Instructions

Rinse your shrimp and pat dry using paper towels.
In a small bowl or shallow baking dish combine the flour, salt, and pepper and whisk together.
Next, in a second small bowl or shallow baking dish add the eggs and whisk them together.
Then, in a third small bowl or shallow baking dish add in the panko breadcrumbs.
To properly coat your shrimp. Cover in your flour mixture, then cover in your egg mixture and finally coat in panko crumbs and place onto a plate. Repeat this step until all shrimp are coated.
Next, place the shrimp in the fridge for 10 minutes so that the coating holds tightly to the shrimp. This is a key step, so don't skip it!
Preheat your Air Fryer to 385 degrees Fahrenheit.
Spray your air fryer with a generous amount of nonstick cooking spray so that the shrimp do not stick. Then, working in batches, place shrimp in a single layer in your air fryer and coat the tops of them generously with cooking spray as well. Set the cook time for 10 minutes and halfway through (about 5 minutes in) flip the shrimp over and again apply a coating of cooking spray. Repeat this step until all shrimp have been cooked.
While the shrimp are cooking, put together your Old Bay Ranch Dipping sauce. In a small bowl combine your ranch dressing and old bay seasoning and mix well.
Finally, serve and enjoy!

Notes

You can store this recipe in an airtight container in your fridge for 3-5 days. Because these are freshly crusted shrimp, I would not recommend freezing this recipe.
