Ingredients
- 1 pound jumbo (21 to 25-count) shrimp peeled and deveined (tails on or off)
- 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
- 1 small lemon zest and juice, plus additional for serving
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon dried parsley
- ½ teaspoon dried oregano
- ¼ teaspoon kosher salt
- ¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
- ⅓ cup Italian seasoned whole wheat breadcrumbs
- ¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 large egg
- nonstick cooking spray
- Chopped fresh parsley or chives optional for serving
Instructions
- Pat the shrimp dry and place in a large bowl. Top with the oil, lemon zest and juice, garlic powder, parsley, oregano, salt, and pepper. Toss to combine evenly, then cover and set aside at room temperature for 15 minutes or refrigerate for 1 hour (if you leave the shrimp for longer, the citrus juice will start to break them down).
- Stir the breadcrumbs and Parmesan together in a shallow baking dish (a pie plate works well). In a separate dish, beat the egg. Keep a baking sheet handy and line with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
- Remove the shrimp from marinade and shake off any excess. Dip in the beaten egg, shake off excess, then dip in the breadcrumb mixture to coat both sides. Place on the prepared baking sheet.
- Preheat the air fryer to 390 degrees F. Coat the basket with non-stick spray, then place the shrimp in the basket in a single layer, ensuring that they do not overlap (you’ll likely need to cook the shrimp in batches). Coat the top of the shrimp with nonstick spray, then slide the basket into place.
- Air fry the shrimp for 2 minutes, remove the basket, then with tongs, carefully flip the shrimp. Return to the air fryer and continue cooking until the shrimp look light golden brown and are opaque and cooked through, about 2 minutes more (shrimp cook fast!). Repeat with remaining shrimp (if you like, you can keep the first batch warm in a 200 degree F oven while you finish the rest). Enjoy hot, sprinkled with parsley, chives, and a squeeze of fresh lemon juice as desired.
Notes
- TO STORE: Refrigerate shrimp in an airtight storage container for up to 3 days.
- TO REHEAT: Recrisp shrimp on a baking sheet in the oven at 350 degrees F.
- TO FREEZE: Freeze leftovers in an airtight, freezer-safe storage container for up to 3 months. Reheat from frozen.
