TIPS & TRICKS:

• Take care not to pack your air fryer too full. Depending on how big your air fryer is, you might have to cook in batches. There should be no contact between the shrimp and the air fryer basket.
• Use of aerosol cooking spray in your air fryer is not advised. You might harm the finish. I use a high-heat oil, such as grape seed oil, in an oil sprayer.
• Depending on the brand and type of your air fryer, cooking times can change. To find out how long it takes your air fryer to cook the recipe, keep an eye on the shrimp.
• Be cautious not to overfill your air fryer. You may need to cook in batches depending on the size of your air fryer. The shrimp and the air fryer basket shouldn’t come into touch.
