Follow The Directions
01
StepPreheat your air fryer to 390°F (200°C). (5 minutes)
02
StepIn a shallow dish, lightly beat the eggs. (2 minutes)
03
StepPour the fish fry breading mix into a separate shallow dish. (1 minute)
04
StepDip each shrimp into the beaten egg, allowing any excess to drip off. (5 minutes)
05
StepImmediately transfer the egg-coated shrimp to the dish with the fish fry breading, ensuring each shrimp is fully coated. Place the breaded shrimp on a clean plate and let them rest for 10 minutes to allow the breading to adhere. (15 minutes)
06
StepSpray the air fryer basket with cooking spray or lightly mist with oil. Arrange the breaded shrimp in a single layer, ensuring they do not overlap. You may need to cook in batches depending on the size of your air fryer. (5 minutes)
07
StepMist the shrimp with cooking spray or oil, ensuring even coverage. (1 minute)
08
StepCook for 3 minutes, then carefully flip the shrimp. Mist again with cooking spray or oil to prevent any dry or powdery spots. (5 minutes)
09
StepContinue cooking for another 2-3 minutes, or until the shrimp are pink and opaque and the breading is golden brown and crispy. (3 minutes)
10
StepRemove the cooked shrimp from the air fryer and repeat with any remaining shrimp. Serve immediately with your favorite dipping sauce.

Mar 14, 2025I didn't have fish fry breading, so I used panko breadcrumbs mixed with some spices. Worked great!
