The thing with the air fryer is, it does make crispy food, but often it is dry from the lack of oil (I am sure you already know this). I think it would make great crunchy shrimp, but would be best if you sprayed it with some canola oil before air frying. I bread my own shrimp and I always let it sit a bit before frying to make sure that the breading adheres properly to the shrimp. I used a buttermilk/egg/lemon pepper egg wash and breaded in a mix of panko and plain breadcrumbs.
I agree. I made sure my breading was rather thin and the shrimp were fried in canola oil at a high temperature, so they were not oily at all. I marinated the shrimp in the egg wash mixture and only dipped in the breading once. Hubby had cocktail sauce. I usually make tartar sauce but last night I ate them plain mostly, I dipped a few of them in my cheese sauce, LOL. They were quite flavorful without any sauce.
I am making lasagna tonight!
Well, the tartar sauce I make (mayo, pickle relish) certainly is a high fat, high oil condiment. Hoping your Asian style tartar sauce is not! I am also cutting back a little on fat and oils because of my gall bladder surgery (two weeks ago Monday). I don't think last night's dinner was a deal breaker since I skipped the dipping condiment. If I had used my air fryer, I am afraid the shrimp would have been so dry I would have been forced to use some sort of dipping sauceMy goal lately has been to cut back on as much fat and oils as I can, more for health than calorie reduction
And fried foods are my kryptonite! The Air Fryer has become my friend.
And I LOVE to dip, any thing I can... I have a recipe for Asian style Tartar Sauce just haven't gotten to it yet.
I'll try to remember to take photos. It's 5 pm here, I probably will start building it around 8 and bake it around 9 so we will eat around 10 or later.Pics please? I had 1 portion last night and froze another 3.
Our friend cheryl has twin daughters both are chefs.

Wife’s out of town, I’m planning on making myself a little baby lasagna Saturday. All mine!
Yeah, I remember you posting the pizza dough photos, what, was that yesterday or the day before? I figured you were going to eat pizza everyday while she was gone!
Wow that's late. We always ate around 6ish to let contents of stomach to digest
Here's a photo of my air fryer (left) on the counter right next to my old toaster oven (now retired):Well, the tartar sauce I make (mayo, pickle relish) certainly is a high fat, high oil condiment.

No, I don't go to sleep with a full stomach, usually. We stay up for a few hours after we eat. When the kids were still at home, we ate earlier (around 6), also when we were both working, we ate earlier (around 8). Hubby is on a work hiatus and I am working very part time now, so no set schedule.
I have two to go.
