Equipment
Ingredients
- 1 lb shrimp (500 grams) jumbo, peeled, frozen but separated *
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon pepper
- ½ teaspoon paprika or cayenne
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- ½ teaspoon onion powder
- 2 teaspoon olive oil or vegetable oil
Instructions
Air Fryer Instructions (See Note!)
- Preheat the air fryer to 400 degrees for 4 minutes.
- Coat the shrimp with a mixture of salt, pepper, paprika, garlic powder, and onion powder.
- Add the frozen shrimp to the air fryer basket without overlapping or overcrowding. Spray the tops with some oil spray.
- Air fry for 6-9 minutes, flipping halfway through cooking. Cook in multiple batches if needed.
- Spray the shrimp again with a bit of oil about 2 minutes before the cook time is up.
- When the time's up, check to make sure the shrimp is cooked through. Air fry for another 2 minutes, if necessary.
Notes
- NOTE: Every air fryer's cooking time will vary due to wattage and capacity. Cook time may also vary depending on the size of the shrimp. So keep an eye on them for the last 4 minutes to make sure they aren't overcooking.
- * If the shrimp are stuck together in a clump, let them thaw a bit until you can separate the pieces.
- I don't usually drain any liquid that's accumulated in the basket because it evaporates by the end of the cooking process.
