Ingredients

1 lb. frozen raw shrimp or 450 gm.
1 tbsp. oil or butter for brushing or spraying on the shrimp
1 tsp. Pepper
½ tsp. Salt
1 tsp. Garlic minced optional

Instructions

Take out frozen shrimp from the freezer. Mine had got clumped together. I put them as is in the air fryer.
Place frozen raw shrimp without thawing in the air fryer. Add salt, pepper and garlic (optional) to oil or butter. Apply all over the shrimp.
Lay the shrimp in one layer in the air fryer basket.
Air fry at 200C or 390F for about 5 minutes. Flip the shrimp.
Air fry for another 5 minutes at 200C or 390F till the shrimp are cooked through and turn opaque throughout.
This time will vary a bit depending upon how big or small the shrimp is.
Do not overcook shrimp or they become rubbery. Serve hot.
Your delicious air fryer shrimp are ready to eat.

Notes

1. You can use different seasoning combinations like Cajun spice, fajita seasoning or plain salt and pepper as well.
2.You can use this recipe for both raw and cooked frozen shrimp. Cooked shrimp will take lesser time to air fry than raw shrimp. About half the time or 5 minutes at 200C or 390F.
3. The shrimp comes out slightly crispy outside and succulent and sweet tasting on the inside.
4. The air frying time will vary depending upon the size of shrimp. I used large ones here.
