Why We Love Air Fryer Shrimp

Ingredients and Variations

Frozen raw shrimp is used in this recipe, but frozen cooked shrimp will work, too. Simply decrease the cook time.

How to Make Air Fryer Frozen Shrimp

• Toss shrimp with oil and seasonings.
• Place shrimp in a single layer in the air fryer basket. Cook until heated through. Serve immediately.

Try these methods for other easy ways to prepare other varieties of prepared frozen shrimp.

Panko Breaded Shrimp:

• • Cook at 390° Fahrenheit for 5 minutes. Shake the basket and cook another 5 minutes.

Coconut Shrimp:

• • Cook at 425° Fahrenheit for 6 minutes. Shake the basket and cook another 6 minutes.

Popcorn Shrimp:

• • Cook at 400° Fahrenheit for 4 minutes. Shake the basket and cook another 4 minutes.

Tempura:

• • Cook at 400° Fahrenheit for 5 minutes. Flip the pieces over and cook another 5 minutes.

Butterfly:

• • Cook at 390° Fahrenheit for 5 minutes. Flip the pieces over and cook another 5 minutes.

Time Saving Tips

• Save clean up by combining the seasoning, lemon juice, and olive oil in a gallon-sized zippered bag. Seal the bag with the frozen shrimp inside and simply shake to coat them. No fuss, no muss!
• Always start with a preheated air fryer so it can quickly seal the outside of the shrimp while keeping them juicy and tender on the inside!
• Leave enough space between the shrimp so the air can flow around them. Test with just one or two shrimp to make sure the cook times aren’t too short or long. Shrimp should be tender and not hard or rubbery.
