Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Start by rinsing your pound of large shrimp under cold water to remove any residual grit. Pat them dry thoroughly with paper towels.
  2. In a mixing bowl, combine the breadcrumbs, grated Parmesan cheese, minced garlic, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Stir well to create a flavorful coating.
  3. Drizzle olive oil over the shrimp and toss gently to coat. Dip each shrimp into the breadcrumb mixture, pressing lightly to ensure even coating.
  4. Preheat your air fryer to 400°F (200°C) for about five minutes.
  5. Carefully place the coated shrimp in a single layer in the air fryer basket.
  6. Air fry the shrimp at 400°F (200°C) for 8-10 minutes, flipping halfway through.
  7. Once cooked, remove the shrimp and garnish with chopped parsley. Serve with lemon wedges.
