Crispy Air-Fried Shrimp Nugget Markets signature recipes

Perfectly tender with a crispy crunch, these succulent shrimp are a snap to prepare in the air fryer and great as an appetizer or anytime snack.

Ingredients

  • 1 egg, lightly beaten
  • 1 tablespoon whole milk
  • ½ cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon Old Bay Seasoning
  • ¾ cup oyster cracker crumbs
  • 1 pound 16/20 shrimp, peeled and deveined, tails on
  • Cooking oil spray (without propellant)

Preparation

Mix egg and milk in shallow dish. In a separate shallow dish, combine flour with Old Bay Seasoning. Place cracker crumbs in a third shallow dish.

To dredge shrimp, dip two at a time into seasoned flour, then into the egg mixture, draining any excess before laying in the cracker crumbs. Make sure each shrimp is well-coated in crumbs, then lay out on air fryer basket sprayed with oil, leaving space between each shrimp.

Spray shrimp with a light coating of oil, then cook in air fryer at 400°F for 7–9 minutes, watching shrimp for doneness.
