Equipment

1 air fryer
1 Bowl
1 plate

Ingredients

17-20 shrimp defrosted, we used jumbo, shells removed, deveined, tails attached
1 c bread crumbs Italian
1 tbsp taco seasoning
1 tbsp garlic salt
4 tbsp butter melted
olive oil spray

Instructions

Melt butter in a small bowl in microwave for about 30 seconds. Take shells off shrimp, devein them and pat each one down WELL with paper towels to remove water from outside (this will make them crispy).
In a bowl mix bread crumbs and seasonings. Preheat air fryer now for 5 minutes at 400 degrees.
One at a time dip your shelled deveined jumbo shrimp into the butter, then into the bread crumb mixture. Use a spoon to completely cover the shrimp (keep tails out of mix). Carefully shake off excess crumbs and put into preheated air fryer.
Fill basket with as many as possible without overlapping them. Spray all of them with olive oil spray.
Close lid or push in basket and cook at 400 degrees for 5 minutes (for jumbo, smaller would not take as long). I did a round flipping them and one where I didn't. I think not flipping came out better as breading stayed in tact better.
Enjoy immediately for best taste.
