Why Make Shrimp in the Air Fryer?

• Ready in under 10 minutes
• Uses less oil than pan-frying
• Easy to season and customize
• Perfect for weeknight meals or appetizers
• Great texture without breading (or with it!)

Best Types of Shrimp for Air Frying

• Medium to large shrimp (16–25 count)
• Peeled and deveined shrimp (tails on or off)
• Fresh or fully thawed frozen shrimp
• Avoid very small shrimp, as they can overcook quickly in the air fryer.

Tips for Perfect Air Fried Shrimp

• Don’t overcrowd the basket – Cook in a single layer for even crisping.
• Pat shrimp dry before seasoning to avoid steaming.
• Shake or flip halfway through cooking.
• Watch closely – Shrimp can go from perfect to overcooked fast.
• Shrimp is done when it turns pink and opaque and curls into a loose “C” shape.
