How to prepare Shrimp in Air Fryer
Let’s start preparing the shrimp cooked in the air fryer. Clean the shrimp, remove the head, shell, keeping the tail to make the dish more presentable, cut along the back and remove the black intestinal vein, then wash them under running water.
Pour the panko or breadcrumbs onto a plate, coat the shrimp, then place them in a tray suitable for air fryer cooking and spray a few puffs of extra virgin olive oil.
Place the tray in the air fryer basket and cook at 375°F for 10 minutes, halfway through cooking, open the basket and turn the shrimp for more even cooking.
Once cooking is finished, remove the tray from the oven and serve, adjusting the salt and adding some lemon slices.
