Shrimp

  • 1 lb (450g) large shrimp, peeled and deveined, tails on
  • ½ cup (60g) cornstarch
  • 1 large egg, whisked
  • ½ tsp kosher salt
  • ¼ tsp black pepper

  • 1 tbsp lemon juice

Steps

  1. 1

    Prepare the Shrimp

    Pat the shrimp dry thoroughly with paper towels. In a medium bowl, whisk the egg. In another shallow bowl, combine the cornstarch, salt, and pepper. Dip each shrimp first into the egg wash, then dredge in the cornstarch mixture, ensuring it's fully coated. Place the coated shrimp on a plate.

    Preheat Air Fryer & Arrange Shrimp

    Preheat your air fryer to 375°F (190°C) for 3 minutes. Lightly spray the air fryer basket with cooking spray. Arrange the coated shrimp in a single layer in the air fryer basket, ensuring not to overcrowd. You may need to cook in batches.

    Air Fry the Shrimp

    Lightly spray the tops of the shrimp with cooking spray. Air fry for 8-10 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the shrimp are golden brown and cooked through. Ensure an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C).
