Cooking Tips
For this air fryer recipe, you do not need to defrost the shrimp before you start cooking them. You can just pull them straight from the freezer and pour them out of the bag into the air fryer basket!
You can make this recipe with fresh shrimp but you will need to adjust the time and temperature to be shortened. It might overcook and dry out the shrimp if you leave them in there for too long.
When buying a bag of frozen shrimp, make sure to double-check the bag. You can buy cooked or uncooked frozen and with or without the tail. The choice is up to you!
