Keto Crunchy Fried Shrimp
It is hard to get a crunchy, crispy, fried shrimp texture without adding breading to the shrimp - but we're using simple grated parmesan cheese and high heat to get a crunch that won't break your macros.
This isn't just for keto eaters - it's a super simple gluten free trick you can use with pretty much any food for an extra crunchy bite!
Using grated parmesan is essential to this recipe - it will help to give a crunchy, crispy, "breaded" texture without adding any bread or carbs.
I personally prefer drier, less expensive grated cheese for this - since it will have a more breadcrumb like texture. Look for brands that are shelf-stable for this (I use Kraft, but any are good.)
How To Air Fry Shrimp
Air frying shrimp is easy - simply toss in parmesan cheese and spices to coat, place in air fryer basket, and cook - but there are a couple of tips and tricks to make sure its fabulous, every time.
-Don't overcook.
Shrimp when overcooked are gummy, fishy, and chewy - no fun! Cook shrimp until just pink and no longer translucent.
-Remove tails or keep on - it's up to you.

When you are placing the shrimp in the air fryer, do you place them in a single layer and cook them in batches are place them all in at once? Thanks can't wait to try this.
Courtney ODell
You can do either - but I find batch cooking (while a bit annoying) always provides the best results.
Jocelyne Comeau
Thank you for recipe it is a keeper and I'm enjoying my Air fryer
Tina
Can we use frozen shrimp? TY!
Courtney ODell
Hi Tina,
You can absolutely use frozen shrimp - just make sure to pop it in the fridge the day before to thaw it fully. Then rinse shrimp and peel - I avoid using pre-cooked shrimp, since it will make the shrimp gummy or fishy.
Kellie H
