Recipe Notes
I should also note that I have taken an empty container of butter spray, and put oil in it. This is essential for this recipe, since you can put a small amount of oil on the shrimp without drenching it. It’s also essential if you have an air fryer.
Instead of cornflakes, you can crush up just about anything. Here’s what happened when I used a combination of corn chips, Doritos, and Takkis:
This doubles the Weight Watchers points for 3 shrimp (from 1 to 2).
