Notes

  • There is no need to flip the shrimp inside of the air fryer.
  • Shrimp is easy to overcook, they are done once they've reached 120°F. Use an internal thermometer to check the internal temperature.
  • Make sure the shrimp is patted dry before you start preparing them, so they don't steam.
  • To store: Put leftovers into an airtight glass container and keep them in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
  • To reheat: Rewarm leftover shrimp in the microwave or on the air fryer. 
  • To freeze: Freeze cooked shrimp in a freezer-safe bag once the shrimps have reached room temperature. Freeze for up to 3 months.
