Ingredients

Scale

Shrimp and Marinade

  • 1 lb fresh shrimp, peeled and deveined
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tbsp fresh lemon juice
  • 1 tbsp vegetarian Worcestershire sauce (natural)

Coating Mixture

  • 3/4 cup panko breadcrumbs
  • 1/4 cup grated plant-based Parmesan
  • 1 tsp dried parsley
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper
  • 1/2 tsp natural gelling agent (optional)

Instructions

  1. Prep the Shrimp: Rinse the shrimp and pat dry thoroughly to ensure the coating sticks well. In a bowl, toss shrimp with olive oil, minced garlic, fresh lemon juice, and vegetarian Worcestershire sauce (natural). Marinate for about 10 minutes to infuse bright, savory flavors.
  2. Prepare the Coating: In a separate bowl, combine panko breadcrumbs, grated plant-based Parmesan, dried parsley, salt, black pepper, and optional natural gelling agent. This mixture will create a crispy and flavorful crust for the shrimp.
  3. Coat the Shrimp: Dip each shrimp one at a time into the breadcrumb mixture, pressing gently to form an even coat without crushing the shrimp. Ensure each piece is fully covered for maximum crunch.
  4. Air Fry to Perfection: Place the coated shrimp in a single layer in the air fryer basket, leaving space between pieces to crisp evenly. Air fry at 400°F (200°C) for 7 to 9 minutes, flipping halfway through to achieve an all-around golden crust.
  5. Serve Hot: Remove the shrimp carefully and serve immediately while crispy. Garnish with extra lemon wedges and fresh herbs if desired.

Notes

  • Pat shrimp dry before marinating to help the coating adhere better and crisp up nicely.
  • Do not overcrowd the air fryer basket to allow even cooking and best crispiness.
  • Adjust cooking time based on shrimp size to prevent overcooking.
  • Use fresh garlic for a sharper, more vibrant flavor rather than garlic powder.
  • Lightly spritz shrimp with olive oil before air frying to achieve golden brown edges.
