I made air-fried popcorn shrimp while my husband's nephew was here working with us and I have to admit that I didn't know a teenage boy could eat that many shrimp. It was a bit awe-inspiring. LOL!
Thankfully it is quick and easy to make the shrimp in the air fryer because my Husband's nephew enjoyed more than 1 batch of these.
Ingredients
Frozen Popcorn Shrimp
Optional Dipping Sauces - Tartar Sauce, cocktail sauce
Equipment Needed
Air Fryer - We suggest getting an air fryer that is bigger than you think you will need. We found once we started using the air fryer, we ended up using it for more meals and larger meals.
Kitchen Tongs - We highly suggest getting a good pair of kitchen tongs to remove items from the air fryer and save your hands from getting burned.
How to make Frozen Popcorn Shrimp in the air fryer
Evenly spread FROZEN popcorn shrimp in the air fryer basket.
Air fry at 390 degrees Fahrenheit. Make sure to shake the basket halfway through cooking so the hot air can circulate around all of the frozen shrimp.
Remove and enjoy while the cooked shrimp is hot.
Recipe Tips
We do not preheat the air fryer for this recipe.
Spray the air fryer basket with olive oil spray to prevent sticking.
Evenly spread the frozen shrimp in a single layer in the air fryer basket. DO NOT THAW the shrimp before cooking. Just grab them from the freezer and drop them into the air fryer.
We try not to use non-stick spray because it can damage the air fryer basket.
Cooking time will vary based on your air fryer. Start with the lowest time and then add additional minutes as needed.
If you are cooking a large number of popcorn shrimp you will want to cook them in batches. Each subsequent batch will cook faster than the 1 before.
