Ingredients

Scale

Shrimp Preparation

  • 1 lb raw shrimp (peeled and deveined)
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced (natural)
  • Salt, to taste
  • Black pepper, to taste

Parmesan Coating

  • 1/2 cup plant-based Parmesan
  • 1/2 cup bread crumbs (preferably panko)
  • 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
  • Pinch of salt

Finishing Touch

  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice (natural)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Shrimp: Pat the shrimp dry thoroughly with paper towels to ensure the coating sticks. Lightly season the shrimp with salt and black pepper. Toss them with olive oil and minced garlic, making sure each shrimp is evenly coated with the aromatic garlic flavor.
  2. Make the Parmesan Coating: In a shallow bowl, combine the plant-based Parmesan, bread crumbs, finely chopped parsley, and a pinch of salt. Mix well to create a flavorful, crispy coating mixture.
  3. Coat the Shrimp: Dip each garlic-coated shrimp into the Parmesan breadcrumb mixture. Press gently to make sure the coating adheres evenly to every shrimp, locking in flavor and ensuring a crunchy texture.
  4. Air Fry to Perfection: Arrange the coated shrimp in a single layer in the air fryer basket without overcrowding. Cook at 400°F for 7 to 9 minutes, flipping halfway through. Cook until the shrimp turn pink and the coating is crispy and golden.
  5. Final Touch: After cooking, immediately squeeze fresh lemon juice over the shrimp to brighten the flavors. Serve the shrimp hot for best taste and texture.

  • Do not overcrowd the air fryer basket to maintain crispiness.
  • Pat shrimp dry thoroughly before seasoning and coating.
  • Customize the breadcrumb mixture by adding herbs or spices as desired.
