Tips and Tricks for These Air Fryer Keto Shrimp

- Cooking shrimp correctly is important. Flip them over halfway through so they get cooked evenly and both sides get crispy.
- Spray the shrimp with cooking spray before you start cooking. Then spray them again when you take the basket off the heat halfway through. This will help them be nice and crunchy when they’re done.
- I usually coat my shrimp in two steps. If you want a thicker coating, you can ‘double-dip’ the shrimp. That means, dip the shrimp in the egg first, and then in the flour mixture. Then, do it again.

A 3-ounce serving of fried shrimp has 9.8 grams of carbs and 9.4 grams of net carbs. That’s the same as eating about 3 slices of bread. Shrimp may be okay to eat on a “dirty keto” or low-carb diet, but it’s not the best choice. The serving size is small, and the breading is made of wheat, which isn’t allowed on keto.
If you like fried shrimp but are following the keto diet, there are two options. One option is to make keto coconut shrimp. The other is to make traditional breaded shrimp using the same method as for keto chicken tenders.
