Air Fryer Shrimp

Shrimp cooks astonishingly fast and perfectly in the air fryer. I was a little skeptical about our recent air fryer purchase, but cooking shrimp made me fall in love with this contraption. Cooking crispy food requires no skill and very little time. As parents who love to eat but don’t have hours to prepare, air fryer shrimp is a game-changer for a healthy weeknight dinner or weekend lunch.

How to cook shrimp in the air fryer

Spray, season, and cook on high (on mine that’s 390) for 10 minutes.

Time needed: 10 minutes.

Instructions

  1. No need to defrost.

    Just add the frozen shrimp into the basket.

  2. Spray with oil + season.

    I used a spicy salt spice blend.

  3. Cook on high for 10 minutes.

    I usually pause and give it a shake a few times. On our air fryer, high is 390.
