Ingredients:
For the Air Fryer Shrimp:
- 1 pound large shrimp, peeled and deveined
- 1 cup breadcrumbs (panko or regular)
- 1/2 cup flour
- 2 eggs, beaten
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
- Salt and pepper, to taste
For the Slaw:
- 2 cups coleslaw mix (cabbage and carrots)
- 1/4 cup mayonnaise
- 1 tablespoon lime juice
- 1 teaspoon honey
- Salt and pepper, to taste
For Assembling:
- 8 small flour or corn tortillas
- Sliced avocado
- Salsa or hot sauce
- Fresh cilantro leaves
- Lime wedges
Instructions:
- Preheat your air fryer to 400°F (200°C).
- In a shallow dish, mix together the breadcrumbs, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper.
- Place the flour in another shallow dish and the beaten eggs in a third dish.
- Coat each shrimp with flour, dip it in the beaten eggs, and then roll it in the breadcrumb mixture, ensuring an even coating. Place the coated shrimp on a plate or tray.
- Place the coated shrimp in a single layer in the preheated air fryer basket. You may need to cook them in batches if your air fryer is small.
- Lightly spray the shrimp with cooking spray to help them become crispy in the air fryer.
- Air fry the shrimp for about 6-8 minutes, flipping them halfway through the cooking time, or until they are golden brown and crispy.
- While the shrimp are cooking, prepare the slaw. In a bowl, combine the coleslaw mix, mayonnaise, lime juice, honey, salt, and pepper. Toss until well combined.
- Warm the tortillas in the air fryer for a minute or two, or according to the manufacturer’s instructions.
- To assemble the tacos, place a generous spoonful of the slaw on each tortilla, add a few air-fried shrimp, and top with sliced avocado, salsa or hot sauce, cilantro leaves, and a squeeze of fresh lime juice.
- Serve your air fryer shrimp tacos immediately and enjoy!
