Air Fryer Popcorn Shrimp
Description
Air Fryer Popcorn Shrimp utilizes pre-breaded frozen shrimp, which are cooked in an air fryer to achieve a crunchy texture similar to deep-fried food but with less oil. The basket is lightly sprayed with olive oil to prevent sticking and promote browning. Half the bag of shrimp is spread out in a single layer for even cooking, then air fried at 400°F for about 8 minutes. Shaking the basket halfway helps maintain crispiness and prevent clumping. The cooked shrimp should have a golden crust and a tender interior.
This method offers a convenient alternative for cooking breaded shrimp quickly and cleanly, suitable for serving with dipping sauces or adding to salads and sandwiches. The remaining shrimp can be cooked in a subsequent batch following the same steps.
Ingredients
- olive oil optional, spray form
- 1 bag popcorn shrimp 625 grams per bag, uncooked, breaded
Instructions
- Lightly spray the air fryer basket with a bit of oil if you’d like.
- Add in half of the package of the frozen breaded popcorn shrimp to the air fryer.
- Air fry the pre-made breaded popcorn shrimp at 400F for 8 minutes, shaking the basket at the halfway mark.
- Serve when done or repeat with the rest of the packaged shrimp. It should look golden and crispy!
