Air Fryer Popcorn Shrimp

  4.7 – 7 reviews  • Shrimp

A unique take on classic beef stew, with stew meat so soft even picky eaters will love it! (For example, youngsters who dislike chewy meat, like mine.) The acid in red wine is the “secret”. The collagen is broken down, naturally tenderizing the meat and releasing wonderful taste! The longer the marinating period, at least three hours, the better. Enjoy with a glass of red wine and some delicious crusty bread!

Delicious! I added some additional seasoning to the panko mix and included old bay, turned out SO YUMMY!! Will definitely make again.

I made the planko mixture half and half with bread crumbs, added some roasted garlic powder and then minced some very fine sweet pepper, hardly a teaspoon, with a bit of fresh ground salt and pepper.

Could add a recipe for a sauce that goes with it.
Amber Thomas
Excellent! Very crispy, very easy recipe. Definitely will make again.
Jennifer Lane
It was very easy to make and it came nice and crispy, it just seem to be missing something. Well for me anyways, but it was still good, and I am sure I will make this again.
Denise Vega
No changes and I will make it again

I would consider adding less paprika and adding garlic powder. Served with soy, ginger, green onion Thai sauce
