Tips & Tricks (5)

Shrimp Size Matters 🍤
Choose medium to large shrimp (21-25 count) for the best texture and most even cooking in the air fryer.
Pat Dry for Crispy Perfection 🧻
Always thoroughly pat shrimp dry with paper towels before seasoning to ensure a crispy, golden exterior and prevent steaming.
Avoid Overcrowding 🚫
Arrange shrimp in a single layer with slight spacing between each piece to allow hot air circulation and achieve maximum crispiness.
Seasoning Pro Technique 🌶️
Mix dry seasonings with olive oil first to create a uniform, clump-free coating that adheres perfectly to the shrimp.
Timing is Critical ⏱️
Cook shrimp for 5-6 minutes at 400°F, flipping halfway through, and remove immediately to prevent overcooking - they're done when just opaque and slightly curled.
