How Long to Air Fry Shrimp

• Spice Mixture: Combine the spices with the oil and then add the shrimp.
• Air Fry: Arrange the raw shrimp in a single layer in the basket. If they won’t all fit, you may have to do another batch. Air fry them at 400°F for five to six minutes, shaking the basket halfway.

What to Serve with Air Fryer Shrimp

How to Store Shrimp

Store leftover shrimp in airtight containers for three to four days in the refrigerator. You can eat them cold or reheat them in the microwave for 30 seconds.

Variations:

• Shrimp: You can buy fresh or frozen shrimp that’s already peeled and deveined to save time. If you use frozen shrimp, thaw it before adding the spices.
• Spices: Switch up the spices with your favorite store-bought mixes, like Old Bay or Tajin, or make your own combo. Add onion powder or swap the parsley for oregano.
• No Air Fryer? No Problem! Cook them in a skillet for about three minutes on each side.
