These air-fried popcorn shrimp get crispy and crunchy with very little oil. The unique flavors are inspired by Mexican fare, with a smoky, spicy dipping sauce and full-flavored shrimp coating. Look for the smallest shrimp you can find so they will cook evenly.

Ingredients

⅛ tsp. kosher salt
2 tbsp. lime juice
2 tbsp. chopped fresh cilantro
2 tbsp. chopped chipotle chiles in adobo
½ cup no-salt-added ketchup
1 pound small shrimp, peeled and deveined
1 tbsp. garlic powder
1 tbsp. ground cumin
1½ cups panko breadcrumbs
2 tbsp. water
2 eggs, well beaten
½ cup all-purpose flour
Cooking spray

Method

02

Place flour in a shallow dish. Combine eggs and water in another shallow dish. Combine panko, cumin and garlic powder in a third shallow dish.

Cook at 360°F until crispy and cooked through, about 8 minutes, turning once during cooking. Repeat with the remaining shrimp.
