Preheat an air fryer to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).

Using a paper towel, pat shrimp dry. Working in batches, add shrimp to the seasoned flour and toss to combine. Dip shrimp in the beaten egg and then in the panko bread crumbs. Place breaded shrimp in the basket of the air fryer, butterflied-side down; make sure to not overcrowd.

Spray the tops with nonstick cooking and cook for 3 minutes. Using tongs, flip shrimp over and spray the the tops with nonstick cooking spray. Cook for 4 minutes more or until desired crispness. Serve immediately.
