Follow The Directions

01

Step

Preheat your air fryer to 390°F (200°C). (5 minutes)

02

Step

In a shallow dish, lightly beat the eggs. (2 minutes)

03

Step

Pour the fish fry breading mix into a separate shallow dish. (1 minute)

04

Step

Dip each shrimp into the beaten egg, allowing any excess to drip off. (5 minutes)

05

Step

Immediately transfer the egg-coated shrimp to the dish with the fish fry breading, ensuring each shrimp is fully coated. Place the breaded shrimp on a clean plate and let them rest for 10 minutes to allow the breading to adhere. (15 minutes)

06

Step

Spray the air fryer basket with cooking spray or lightly mist with oil. Arrange the breaded shrimp in a single layer, ensuring they do not overlap. You may need to cook in batches depending on the size of your air fryer. (5 minutes)

07

Step

Mist the shrimp with cooking spray or oil, ensuring even coverage. (1 minute)

08

Step

Cook for 3 minutes, then carefully flip the shrimp. Mist again with cooking spray or oil to prevent any dry or powdery spots. (5 minutes)

09

Step

Continue cooking for another 2-3 minutes, or until the shrimp are pink and opaque and the breading is golden brown and crispy. (3 minutes)

10

Step

Remove the cooked shrimp from the air fryer and repeat with any remaining shrimp. Serve immediately with your favorite dipping sauce.

For best results, use fresh shrimp.
Adjust cooking time based on the size of your shrimp and the specific model of your air fryer.
Experiment with different fish fry breading mixes to find your favorite flavor profile.
Serve with cocktail sauce, remoulade, or a spicy aioli.

    I used Old Bay seasoning in my breading mix for a little extra kick. Delicious!

  • Bennett Hamillbeier

    The shrimp came out perfectly crispy. I'll definitely be making these again.

  • Nelson Ebert

    Be careful not to overcook the shrimp; they can get rubbery.

  • Aiyana Waters

    Next time, I'm going to try adding some lemon zest to the breading for a brighter flavor.

  • Donny Kirlin

    These were so easy and quick to make! My kids loved them!

  • Geo Hickle

    I didn't have fish fry breading, so I used panko breadcrumbs mixed with some spices. Worked great!
