Crispy Air-Fried Breaded Shrimp
  1. 1

    Preheat the air fryer to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).

  2. 2

    Add flour, Old Bay, paprika, salt, parsley, and black pepper to a gallon-sized resealable plastic bag. Seal and shake to mix. Put the beaten eggs in a shallow bowl.

  3. 3

    Pat the shrimp dry with paper towels. Working in batches, add the shrimp to the seasoned flour and toss to coat. Dip the shrimp in the beaten eggs, then return them to the seasoned flour. Place the breaded shrimp in the air fryer basket without overcrowding. Lightly spray the tops with nonstick cooking spray.

  4. 4

    Cook in the preheated air fryer for 4 minutes. Remove the lid and spray any chalky spots with nonstick cooking spray. Close the lid and cook until the desired crispness is reached, about 3 minutes more.
