Notes
- Defrost and drain frozen shrimp thoroughly to prevent extra moisture during cooking.
- Using jumbo shrimp helps maintain texture; smaller shrimp may cook differently.
- Marinate shrimp and vegetables for 30 minutes to 2 hours for deeper flavor if time allows.
- Cut vegetables into uniform sizes to ensure even cooking in the allotted air fryer time.
- Use reduced salt tamari or soy sauce for lower sodium content if desired.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to four days.
- Cooking time may vary with shrimp size; avoid overcooking for best texture.
- The recipe can be doubled or tripled but requires multiple air fryer batches.
