Notes

  • Make sure the shrimp are separated (not in a big clump) before cooking.
  • For the best results, do not overcrowd the air fryer basket so that the hot air circulates and the shrimp cooks through.
  • If your air fryer is small, you may need to cook in batches.
  • No extra oil is needed for this recipe. However, you may want to lightly spritz the air fryer basket or tray with cooking spray to avoid sticking.
  • Be sure to shake the basket at least once during the cook time.
  • Bigger shrimp may need a little more time.
  • Storage - keep leftovers in an airtight container inside the fridge for up to 3 days.
  • If cooking battered/breaded shrimp, there are 8 Blue Plan SmartPoints in one serving.
  • If using uncoated shrimp, there are 0 Blue Plan SmartPoints in one serving.
