Air Fryer Brown Sugar Buffalo Shrimp Crispy Recipes

AIR FRYER BROWN SUGAR BUFFALO SHRIMP (CRISPY)

Steps:

• Make sure your shrimp are fully thawed, peeled and deveined. You can leave the tails on if you like this presentation. Pat them dry with a paper towel if they are very wet.
• Add ½ flour to a shallow bowl or plate along with 1 tsp. of garlic powder, 1 tsp. of onion powder, and 1 tsp. of salt. Mix together.
• Add your panko breadcrumbs to another shallow bowl or plate.
• Whisk your eggs and 1 tbsp. of milk to another bowl.
• Take your shrimp and dredge them in the flour mixture so they are fully coated. Then dip each into the egg wash allowing excess egg to drip off before place into the panko. Press down your shrimp on all sides so they are coated WELL with the breadcrumbs. Set shrimp aside.
• Turn on your Instant™ Vortex™ Air Fryer° and set the temperature to 400°F and the time to 7 minutes. Press start and wait for it to preheat. After 2 minutes, it should be ready.
• Before you add your shrimp to the air fryer, spray BOTH sides of your breaded shrimp generously with cooking spray. This will allow them to crisp up and brown nicely.
• Add your shrimp in a single layer on the tray in your air fryer basket. They should barely be touching. In a 6 qt. air fryer, I was able to add between 8-10 shrimp. Push the basket back into the air fryer and it should start on its own. If not, press start.
• You do not need to flip your shrimp. If your air fryer tells you to flip your food, ignore it.
• While waiting for your shrimp, add ½ cup of Frank's® RedHot® Buffalo Wings Sauce, ¼ cup brown sugar and ¼ tsp of garlic powder to a large bowl. Whisk together and set aside.
• When time is up, take out your shrimp immediately so they do not overcook. Transfer shrimp to your buffalo sauce bowl and toss to coat.
• Transfer to a dish and garnish with chopped chives. Serve warm with ranch or blue cheese on the side.

Steps:

• Heat oil in a deep-fryer or large saucepan to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Pat shrimp dry with paper towels.
• Combine flour, lemon pepper seasoning, baking powder, salt, garlic powder, and cayenne together in a bowl. Whisk eggs and milk together in a second bowl.
• Dip each shrimp in the egg mixture, then the flour mixture to evenly coat. Transfer prepared shrimp to a baking sheet until ready to fry. Sprinkle additional flour as needed to fully cover.
• Cook 8 to 10 shrimp at a time in the hot oil until golden brown on the outside and cooked through on the inside, about 5 minutes. Transfer to a baking sheet lined with paper towels. Repeat with remaining shrimp.
• Toss shrimp together with hot sauce in a large bowl until each piece is coated.
