Air Fryer Crispy Shrimp
Ingredients
  • 1 pound frozen raw shrimp, peeled and deveined
  • 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
  • 1/2 teaspoon seafood seasoning (such as Old Bay®)
  • 1/8 teaspoon cayenne pepper
  • 1 teaspoon chopped fresh parsley
  • 4 wedges fresh lemon
Instructions
1
Heat the air fryer to a high temperature of 400 degrees Fahrenheit for five minutes prior to use.
2
During this time, take the frozen shrimp out of the freezer and gently scrape off any ice that may have formed on their surface using a spoon.
3
Carefully place the shrimp in a single layer at the bottom of the preheated air fryer, approximately half a pound.
4
Cook the shrimp in the air fryer for four minutes to achieve the desired level of doneness.
5
In a small bowl, mix together melted butter, seafood seasoning, and a pinch of heat from the cayenne pepper until well combined.
6
As soon as the timer goes off, give each shrimp a generous coating of seasoned butter, flip them over, and repeat the process on the other side.
7
Continue cooking the shrimp for an additional three to four minutes, or until they turn a vibrant pink color on the outside and the meat is fully opaque.
8
Repeat this process with any remaining shrimp to ensure they are all cooked evenly.
9
Finish the dish by sprinkling some fresh parsley on top and serving with lemon wedges on the side.
