Notes
- Air Fryer: this recipe was tested with a 4-quart Ninja air fryer. The exact cook time may vary depending on the model of your air fryer and the size of your shrimp.
- Yield: frozen varieties can range from 12-16 ounces. You may need to add a few minutes if you are using a 16-ounce bag and add an extra drizzle of oil/lemon juice.
- Seasoning: use any variety of seasoning you'd like, or simply toss with salt and pepper if serving with another flavor-forward recipe.
