Instructions
Preheat your air fryer to 400°F (205°C). Lightly coat your air fryer with cooking oil.
Add the frozen shrimp directly from the bag to the air fryer basket or rack.
Arrange the shrimp in a single layer.
Cook the shrimp at 400°F (205°C) for about 4-5 minutes, then open your air fryer and flip the shrimp over.
Continue cooking for another 4-5 minutes. Check to see if the shrimp are fully cooked, if not return to your air fryer for an additional 1-2 minutes.
Remove from air fryer carefully and allow to cool slightly. Season to taste with salt, serve with lemon wedges and cocktail sauce if desired.
Notes
Oil your air fryer basket or trays using spray oil or a pastry brush to lightly coat the air fryer basket or trays to prevent the shrimp from sticking. Be sure to NOT use the aerosolized non-stick cooking sprays. This type of spray oil damages the air fryer coating.
No need to thaw your frozen shrimp!
Make sure to leave room for the air to circulate (without crowding your shrimp).
For the best results and evenly cooked shrimp, be sure to arrange them in a single layer (as much as possible, some minor overlapping is OK) in the basket or tray.
Allcooking times are approximate and may vary slightly based on your particular air fryer model.
