How to Make Crispy Shrimp in the Air Fryer

We used tapioca starch to create a light crispy coating for the shrimp. After dipping the shrimp in egg wash, they are placed in the air fryer and lightly sprayed with cooking spray. After 10 minutes they are perfectly crispy and ready to be coated in the honey sauce.

How to Make Low Sugar Walnuts

Honey Walnut Shrimp typically has candied walnuts. We made air fryer candied walnuts for this recipe. They are simply coated in a little oil and a small amount of sugar. They are then cooked in the air fryer for about 10 minutes.
