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.

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!

Used Andy’s fish seasoning - one of our favorites- but I think I went too light on the cooking spray? Or too much breading? This IS quick and IS relatively easy and overall, we liked. Encountered a few “dry” shrimp and not a ton of flavor?? I could see being really good in po’boys. I really liked this concept so plan to keep this recipe and tweak to our personal preferences. Thanks France C!

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 .
