WHAT GOES INTO THESE AIR FRYER BREADED SHRIMP

air fryer breaded shrimp recipe by bits and bites

I have the Trader Joe's Chili Lime Seasoning in my spice cabinet. So, making these air fryer breaded shrimp is super easy. It's a total of 4 ingredients.

Shrimp: I buy my shrimp fresh from ALDI, I've always really liked the taste and texture of it. I'm usually kinda picky about shrimp. Not because I'm some shrimp connoisseur, but because I'm slowly working my way to liking shrimp.
Trader Joe's Chili Lime Seasoning: Like I said, I bought this at my local Trader Joe's. However, Muy Delish has a recipe for homemade chili lime seasoning that you could always use, too!
Cumin
Garlic Powder
Bread Crumbs: If you are gluten-free, or prefer eating gluten-free, you can always use your favorite GF breadcrumbs. I use regular, plain breadcrumbs that I always keep in the cabinet.

WHAT DO YOU TOP THESE SHRIMP TACOS WITH?

I like to keep mine simple, top it with some cabbage, jalapenos, maybe some avocado and definitely some salsa. If you haven't made my recipe, The Best Salsa Ever........ seriously. Get on that.
