• Raw peeled prawns (medium or large size, fresh or frozen)
• Flour (wheat or corn)
• Beaten egg
• Breadcrumbs (panko, classic or gluten-free)
• Spices of your choice: paprika, garlic, curry, sweet chili…
• Olive oil or neutral oil spray
• Salt, pepper, lemon zest 🥒🍋

Tip: Add some grated parmesan, sesame seeds or grated coconut for an original touch.

1. Rinse and dry the shrimp thoroughly. Preheat the Air Fryer to 200°C for five minutes.
2. Prepare three bowls: flour, beaten egg, and breadcrumbs mixed with spices.
3. Coat each shrimp successively in flour, egg, and then spiced breadcrumbs.
4. Place them on the grid of your Air Fryer without overlapping them. Lightly spray with oil.
5. Bake for ten minutes at 200°C. Turn over halfway through baking for perfect browning.
6. Serve hot with a squeeze of lemon, your favorite sauce or on a bed of salad 🥗.

In less than 15 minutes, you get ultra crispy and golden shrimp, without frying or lingering smell in the kitchen!

• Use panko breadcrumbs for maximum crunch.
• Thoroughly dry the shrimp before breading; this is the key to a golden texture.
• Do not overload the basket, leave space for air to circulate and brown evenly.
• For even more flavour, add a pinch of smoked paprika or a Cajun mix.

Bonus: If you use frozen shrimp, let them thaw beforehand in a colander with absorbent paper to avoid excess moisture.

• Asian version: Add ginger, coriander, sesame and soy sauce for dipping.
• Coconut curry: Mix the breadcrumbs with grated coconut and mild curry.
• Lime chili: Chili with sweet chili and lime zest for a Mexican twist.
• Gluten-free: Use cornmeal or puffed rice flakes.

• Can frozen shrimp be used? Yes, but they must be thoroughly thawed and dried before breading.
• Should you turn the shrimp over during cooking? Yes, halfway through cooking for even browning.
• How to prevent the breading from falling off? Lightly press the breadcrumbs onto the shrimp before cooking.
• How long do they keep? Ideally, enjoy them right away, but they'll keep for 24 hours in the fridge. Reheat for 2 minutes in an air fryer to keep them crispy!
