Air Fried Shrimp and White Bean Patties

Air Fried Shrimp and White Bean Patties are my favorite simple and light meal. Great on a salad, in a wrap or on their own. Air frying means crispy and convenient.

 This dish might be a little predictable coming from me, after all, shrimp and beans are two of my most favorite foods. I also love anything air fried. 

Recently, my bestie wanted me to run the Ragnar relay race she ran with The Hubs and 9 other friends a couple of weeks ago.

I declined because I can no longer run long distances due to gastrointestinal issues. I make out at about 35 minutes of continuous running before nature takes over.

She swore up and down that she’d be able to train me and it would be fine. She began researching what causes GI problems, and guess what she found to be common causes?

Vegetables, beans, and fruit.

Soooooo pretty much the only things I eat.

I told her I wasn’t going to begin eating lots of white carbs just for the sake of running 197 miles through NorCal, so they replaced me with someone who would. And, that’s my poop story for the day.

While they ran, I happily chowed down on these oh-so-protein-packed circles of deliciousness. I wouldn’t give up beans or shrimp for anything, let alone running! Besides, I’ve always been a better cheerleader than competitor.

Air Fried Shrimp and White Bean Patties

The first time I made these shrimp patties was way back in 2012. Those were the olden days before air fryers. If you don’t have an air fryer, you can cook these on a sheet pan under the broiler for 5 minutes on each side, until fully cooked through. 

Since I’m crazy obsessed with my air fryer, of course I wanted to update the recipe to reflect that. Guess what, they came out crispy and perfect, just like everything else I’ve ever cooked in my air fryer. 

This is why I’m obsessed!

      Sour cream? What are you trying to avoid? Dairy? I would even just slather these babies with Sriracha, but then again, we eat Sriracha on everything!
