Notes
- Always preheat the air fryer before adding the shrimp.
- Shells can be left on or left off the shrimp.
- Cook the shrimp in a single layer for even cooking. Cook in batches when needed.
- Flip the shrimp halfway through air frying so the shrimp will crisp up on all sides.
- Add a fresh squeeze of lemon right before serving.
- Reheat any leftover shrimp in an air fryer preheated at 350 degrees for about 2 to 3 minutes until warmed thorough.
