Crispy, savory, and packed with shrimp and crab flavor, these easy air-fryer bites are perfect for an appetizer, snack, or party table.
Ingredients
* Peeled and deveined shrimp — 1–1¼ lb
* Green onions, finely chopped — 1 oz
* Imitation crab sticks, very finely chopped — 3 sticks
* Grated cheese — 1/4 cup
* Sesame oil — 1 tsp
* Soy sauce — 1 tbsp
* Dried garlic — 1/2 tsp
* Smoked paprika — 1/2 tsp
* Freshly ground black pepper — 1/2 tsp
* Salt — to taste
* Rice paper — as needed
* Cooking oil spray — for the bites
Instructions
1. Prepare the filling
Very finely chop the shrimp. Add the finely chopped green onions, then the very finely chopped imitation crab sticks.
2. Add the rest
Add the cheese, sesame oil, soy sauce, dried garlic, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper. Mix everything thoroughly until well combined.
3. Wrap
Dip each sheet of rice paper in water for a few seconds, just until flexible. Add the filling in a sausage-like strip, roll tightly, and cut into small bite-sized pieces.
4. Air fry
Arrange the bites in a single layer in the air-fryer basket. Lightly spray the bites with cooking oil before starting the air fryer. Cook at 390°F for 15–18 minutes, turning or shaking halfway through, until golden and crispy.
Tip: Don’t soak the rice paper for too long. A quick dip is enough — it will continue to soften as you work with it.
