What Kind of Shrimp is Best for Popcorn Shrimp?

Popcorn shrimp should really be made with very small shrimp to make them bite-sized and easy to pick up by the handful. We recommend a 61/70 or 51/60 shrimp. Understand you may need to adjust your cooking time based on the size of your shrimp.

Sauces to Pair with Popcorn Shrimp

Cocktail sauce is the gold standard for popcorn shrimp but you could serve this up with some signature Yum-Yum Sauce or Dan-O’s Triple Threat Aioli. IF you’re using the Chipotle variation, try some remoulade with it.

Ingredients

12 ozs small shrimp
¼ cup all-purpose flour
1 egg
1 cup panko breadcrumbs
Dan-O’s Orginal Seasoning
½ teaspoon paprika
Nonstick cooking spray

Homemade Cocktail Sauce:

Lie them down to sleep in their little bed, then lightly spray with cooking spray and air fry at 400 for 8 minutes.
