FAQs

Can I cook raw shrimp in my air fryer?

Yes. I prefer raw shrimp since it cooks quickly and it’s not likely to overcook.

Do you have to thaw shrimp before air frying?

No. I’ve included a few frozen shrimp recipes in my list.

What goes well with air-fried shrimp?

Whatever you choose. Some options are air fryer green beans, air fryer asparagus, air fryer spaghetti squash, and many more. 

What is the best way to season shrimp?

I prefer Cajun seasoning, usually homemade. But, you could also just use salt and pepper, especially when pairing the shrimp with sauce like my keto alfredo, lemon garlic butter, and marinara.

How long should shrimp cook for?

Shrimp takes between 5-10 minutes to cook depending on size and whether or not they are frozen.

How do you cook frozen cooked shrimp?

You simply need to warm it to melt the ice since it’s already cooked. But I haven’t tried this.

Can you put aluminum foil in an air fryer?

Yes, I put foil in my air fryer often. But ensure you read your air fryer’s manual to confirm.
