Can I air fry Parmesan encrusted shrimp instead of baking?

Yes, you can! Air frying is a great way to make the shrimp extra crispy. Preheat your air fryer to 375°F and cook the coated shrimp in a single layer for 8–10 minutes, flipping once halfway through.

What herbs go best with baked potatoes?

Classic choices like rosemary, thyme, parsley, and garlic powder work beautifully. These earthy herbs bring out the natural flavor of the potatoes while adding that signature herbed aroma.

How do you get Parmesan to stick to shrimp?

Pat the shrimp completely dry and lightly brush them with olive oil before pressing into the Parmesan coating. This helps the cheese adhere and form a crisp crust while baking.

Can I make this meal ahead for meal prep?

Absolutely. You can prep the potatoes and coat the shrimp ahead of time. Store them separately and bake fresh for best texture. Leftovers also store well for up to 3 days in airtight containers.
