Frozen Shrimp Air Fryer Recipe
Description
The Frozen Shrimp Air Fryer Recipe provides a straightforward approach to cooking frozen shrimp with minimal preparation. Large or jumbo shrimp are tossed with avocado oil or melted butter and a preferred seasoning blend, allowing the flavors to adhere before air frying. Cooking at 375ºF, the shrimp are arranged in a single layer to ensure even cooking and are flipped partway through to enhance crispness. The recipe differentiates cooking times based on whether the shrimp are raw or pre-cooked.
This method emphasizes ease and speed, eliminating thawing while creating a shrimp dish that is suitable as a quick protein addition for various meals. The air fryer helps develop a lightly crispy exterior from the oil coating and seasoning while retaining a juicy interior.
This technique works with various types of frozen breaded shrimp, including coconut, popcorn, or butterflied varieties, though extra cook time might be necessary for larger shrimp to ensure thorough heating.
Ingredients
- 1 pound Shrimp large/jumbo size, frozen
- 1 tablespoon avocado oil or melted butter
- 1 tablespoon seasoning of choice lemon pepper, old bay, italian seasoning
Instructions
- Add the frozen shrimp to a mixing bowl along with the avocado oil (or butter) and seasoning.
- Mix together until all of the shrimp are coated in the oil and seasoning.
- Place the shrimp in the air fryer basket in a single layer with no overlapping.
- Cook at 375ºF for 4 minutes. Open the basket and shake.
- Place the basket back in the air fryer and cook an additional 3-6 minutes - 3 minutes for precooked shrimp and 6 minutes for raw shrimp.
Notes
- This method is suitable for any frozen breaded shrimp varieties, including coconut, popcorn, and butterflied shrimp.
- Adjust cooking time as needed, adding additional minutes for larger shrimp to ensure they are fully cooked.
