Take peeled and deveined shrimp. Wash and pat them dry. You can leave the tail on or off as per choice.

Now assemble the bowls for breading the shrimp. In one shallow bowl, take wholewheat flour or processed flour.

Break 2 eggs in another shallow bowl and beat them.

In a third bowl, take breadcrumbs. Add all the seasonings you are using and mix well with the breadcrumbs.

Now take the shrimp and add them to flour to coat well. Remove any excess flour.

Then dunk them in egg wash till coated on both sides. I normally use one hand for doing the entire process at once.

Now take them out and place them in seasoned breadcrumbs. Flip both sides and make sure that the breading sticks to the shrimp well.

Meanwhile preheat air fryer at 180C or 360F for 4 minutes.

Spray/brush air fryer basket. Place breaded shrimp in air fryer basket making sure there is no overlap.

You will need to do 1 lb. Shrimp in two batches.

Air fryer popcorn shrimp for about 6 minutes flipping them midway. Also spray/brush each side with oil.

This helps in giving a golden fried-like appearance to the breaded shrimp.

Adjust air frying time as per the size of shrimp used. If yours are larger, increase the time. If they are smaller, slightly reduce the time.

You may use a meat thermometer to check if the shrimp are done. They must reach an internal temperature of 165F or 74C.

Take out popcorn shrimp from air fryer and serve hot with dip of your choice. Enjoy!

Preheat air fryer at 390F or 200C for 4 minutes.

Lay frozen popcorn shrimp from packet directly into air fryer basket without thawing.

Make sure that they are not overlapping.

Now air fry at 390F or 200C for about 8-10 minutes depending upon the size of shrimp. Your shrimp will be crispy fried and done.

You can check the doneness of shrimp by using a meat thermometer and ensure that the internal temperature is 165F or 74C.

Your frozen popcorn shrimp are done.
