Air Fryer Frozen Shrimp Recipes

FROZEN SHRIMP IN THE AIR FRYER

Steps:

• Preheat an air fryer to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C) for 5 minutes.
• While the air fryer is heating, separate frozen shrimp if necessary and knock off any ice crystals that may have developed with a spoon.
• Place a single layer of frozen shrimp, about 1/2 pound, in the cooking area of the preheated air fryer and cook for 4 minutes.
• Combine melted butter, seafood seasoning, and cayenne pepper in a small bowl.
• When the timer sounds, brush each shrimp with seasoned butter, turn over, and brush the other side as well. Air-fry until shrimp are bright pink on the outside and the meat is opaque, 3 to 4 more minutes. Repeat with remaining shrimp.
• Garnish with parsley and lemon wedges.

AIR FRYER PEEL-AND-EAT SHRIMP FROM FROZEN

Steps:

• Preheat an air fryer to 390 degrees F (200 degrees C).
• Quickly rinse shrimp under cold water to remove any ice or sediment. Pat dry with paper towels. Place shrimp in one layer in the basket of the air fryer and lightly mist with cooking spray. You may have to do 2 batches depending on the size of your air fryer.
• Air-fry shrimp for 5 minutes. Flip and continue cooking shrimp until shrimp are bright pink on the outside and the meat is opaque, 3 to 4 minutes longer.
• Meanwhile, place butter in a small microwave-safe bowl. Heat butter at 50 percent power until melted, 30 to 60 seconds. Mix in hot sauce and Old Bay® seasoning.
• Place cooked shrimp into a large bowl. Drizzle with butter mixture and toss to coat. Serve immediately with lemon wedges.
