Ingredients

• 1 pound large shrimp, peeled and deveined
• 0.5 cup almond flour
• 0.25 cup Parmesan cheese, finely grated
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon paprika
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 unit large egg
• 1 tablespoon water
• 0 cooking spray
• 0 lemon wedges (for serving)
• 0 fresh parsley, chopped (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your air fryer to 400°F (200°C) for about 5 minutes.

Step 2

In a shallow bowl, combine almond flour, Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Mix well.

Step 3

In another bowl, beat the egg with a tablespoon of water until well combined.

Step 4

Dip each shrimp first in the egg mixture to coat thoroughly, allowing any excess to drip off.

Step 5

Then coat the shrimp in the almond flour mixture, pressing lightly to ensure the coating adheres well.

Step 6

Spray the air fryer basket lightly with cooking spray to prevent sticking.

Step 7

Arrange the shrimp in a single layer in the air fryer basket, making sure they don't touch. Work in batches if necessary.

Step 8

Spray the tops of the shrimp lightly with cooking spray to help achieve a crispy coating.

Step 9

Cook in the preheated air fryer at 400°F (200°C) for 8-10 minutes, turning halfway through, or until the shrimp are cooked through and golden brown.

Step 10

Remove the shrimp from the air fryer and repeat with remaining batches as necessary.

Step 11

Serve the crispy shrimp immediately with lemon wedges on the side and garnish with fresh parsley if desired.
