Choose the Right Shrimp: Opt for jumbo-cooked shrimp for this recipe to ensure a juicy and flavorful result. If using frozen shrimp, make sure to thaw them completely before cooking.
Enhance Flavor: Don't skimp on seasoning! The combination of Old Bay seasoning, black pepper, and garlic powder adds depth and complexity to the shrimp. Feel free to adjust the seasoning to suit your taste preferences.
Crispy Coating: To achieve perfectly crispy shrimp in the air fryer, ensure each shrimp is well-coated in flour, egg, and Panko breadcrumbs. Press the breadcrumbs firmly onto the shrimp to help them adhere, and make sure to spray the tops with nonstick cooking spray for even browning.
