Cajun Shrimp In Air Fryer Food

AIR FRYER CAJUN SHRIMP

Steps:

• Preheat the air fryer to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
• Rinse shrimp under cold running water, dry with paper towels, and transfer to a large bowl. Add olive oil, garlic, Cajun seasoning, pepper, onion powder, and cayenne, and toss to completely coat. Place shrimp in a single layer in the air fryer basket.
• Cook in the air fryer for 4 minutes. Flip the shrimp and cook until the shrimp are bright pink on the outside and the meat is opaque, about 2 more minutes. Depending on the size of your air fryer, you may have to cook the shrimp in 2 batches.
• Remove shrimp from the air fryer and serve immediately garnished with parsley and lemon wedges.

AIR FRYER FRIED SHRIMP

Steps:

• For the fried shrimp: Spray the basket of a 3.5-quart air fryer with cooking spray and set aside. Pat the shrimp dry between a couple paper towels, then season with a pinch of salt and a few grinds of black pepper.
• Whisk the flour with 3/4 teaspoon salt and few grinds of pepper in a shallow bowl or baking dish. Whisk the eggs with a pinch of salt in another shallow bowl. Add the panko to a third shallow bowl. Dip a shrimp in the seasoned flour, shaking off any excess, then dip in the beaten eggs. Dredge in the panko, turning until evenly coated. Transfer to a large plate or a rimmed baking sheet and repeat with the remaining shrimp.
• Preheat the air fryer to 385 degrees F. Working in batches, place some of the shrimp in a single layer in the fryer basket, then spray lightly with more cooking spray. Cook until the shrimp are golden brown and cooked through, flipping halfway through, about 10 minutes.
• For the spicy remoulade sauce: Meanwhile, stir together the mayonnaise, pickled jalapenos, mustard, ketchup, hot sauce and scallion in a small bowl until smooth. Serve with the fried shrimp for dipping.
