Can I use frozen shrimp?

Yes! This shrimp recipe works for both fresh and frozen shrimp. You will just have the added step of thawing frozen shrimp before air frying.

How to know when shrimp is cooked?

It is very easy to tell when shrimp is cooked! Unlike other protein options, it is usually very visually obvious. When fully cooked, shrimp will turn opaque with a pinkish, sometimes slightly orange hue. You'll want to make sure the shrimp is no longer gray and translucent. Shrimp will also curl into a "C" shape when it is cooked.

Which air fryer should I use?

I use and recommend the Instant Slim 6Qt Air Fryer Oven . However, you can use any air fryer you have! I do recommend doing a trial run for each new food or recipe you prepare in the air fryer. I find that each make and model will cook things slightly differently! Simply keep your eye on the shrimp while it is cooking, perhaps checking on it once or twice throughout the five minutes. The exact cook time that works for my air fryer, might just be a little different than what works for yours.

Easy Air Fryer Shrimp Recipe (5 Minutes!)

Description

Air Fryer Shrimp can be prepared in just about 5 minutes with simple seasonings and olive oil. Fresh or frozen shrimp – this tasty protein is quick, easy, and delicious!

Ingredients

Scale

8 oz shrimp, peeled, deveined, & cleaned
1 tsp seafood seasoning
Olive oil spay, or avocado oil

Instructions

Add the peeled, deveined, and cleaned shrimp to a small mixing bowl. Spray with olive oil and add the seafood seasoning. Toss until each raw shrimp is evenly coated.
Next preheat the air fryer to 400 degrees Fahrenheit. Once preheated, add the seasoned shrimp to the air fryer basket in a single layer. Air fry for 4-5 minutes. Depending on the size of your shrimp you may need to increase the cook time by 1-2 minutes.
Serve and enjoy! I like to top with a squeeze of fresh lemon juice and fresh parsley.
