Fried Shrimp

This weekend I went back to my parents house and decided to make a meal for my parents. While I know my mom doesn’t really like seafood she does like shrimp so I decided to make fried shrimp with the air fryer my parents own. I used a bag of frozen shrimp but did make my own coating for them.

Ingredients

• 1 lb bag of peeled and deveined shrimp ( or more if you’re serving more than 3)
• 3 eggs
• 2 cups of Italian style bread crumbs
• 1 dash of garlic powder
• 1 dash of red pepper flakes
• a small amount of shredded Parmesan cheese

While there are not a ton of ingredients, the majority of them are used by being mixed into the bread crumb mix to coat your shrimp.

Instructions

• Wash all the shrimps in cold water and dry
• Crack the eggs in a shallow bowl and salt and pepper as needed
• Mix the eggs into an even yellow color
• I’m a separate bowl combine breadcrumbs garlic powder red pepper flakes and Parmesan
• Place shrimp into egg mixture and cover the whole shrimp
• Place egg covered shrimp in the bread crumb mixture and coat evenly
• Once all shrimps are covered places them in the fryer for about 7 minutes on 375 degrees
• Flip shrimp halfway through the cooking time

This dish is fairly simple to make but the main struggle I have with it is finding a side to pair it with in the picture I tools we had rice and salad but there have been other times where I used the shrimps to add as meat to tacos which works extremely well.
