Fish fry seasoning, egg, and a spritz of oil are all you need to make these tasty, crispy air fryer shrimp! Use your favorite brand of fish fry breading mix. Serve with cocktail sauce, lemon-garlic aioli, or whatever you prefer! I like to use a Misto® sprayer with my own oil, but feel free to use regular cooking spray.

  • Lightly beat eggs in a shallow dish. Pour breading mix into a separate shallow dish.

  • Dip shrimp into egg, letting excess drip off. Toss shrimp in the fish fry breading and set on a plate. Let rest for 10 minutes.

  • Spray basket of the air fryer with cooking spray and place shrimp inside, making sure shrimp do not overlap. You may have to do two batches depending on the size of your air fryer. Mist shrimp with cooking spray.

  • Cook for 3 minutes. Flip shrimp and mist again with cooking spray so there are no dry or powdery areas. Cook 2 to 3 minutes more. Repeat with remaining shrimp.

The cook time was great and it was very simple to throw together last minute. I used our favorite fish mix and it seemed a little salty (whereas is isn't as noticeable when used on catfish) to me but the BF didn't notice as he downed one shrimp after another....so maybe I'll look for a lower sodium mix vs the usual stuff for the shrimp. Thank you for helping with the air fryer recipes! Read More

i used Rockey Madson beer batter for fish. I would suggest dropping the temp down to 350. if you have smaller shrimp. Served them on a bed of rice. Very tasty and Easy . Read More
