Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Air Fryer Easy Peel and Eat Shrimp.
Step 1
Begin by preheating your air fryer to a sizzling 390°F (200°C).
Step 2
Rinse the frozen shrimp under cold water to eliminate any ice or debris, then gently pat them dry with paper towels.
Step 3
Arrange the shrimp in a single layer within the air fryer basket, giving them a light mist of nonstick cooking spray.
Step 4
Depending on your air fryer's capacity, you may need to cook in batches.
Step 5
Air-fry the shrimp for 5 minutes, then flip them over and continue cooking for an additional 3 to 4 minutes, until they turn a vibrant pink and the meat becomes opaque.
Step 6
While the shrimp are cooking, melt butter in a small microwave-safe bowl, heating it at 50% power for 30 to 60 seconds until fully melted.
Step 7
Stir in hot pepper sauce and seafood seasoning until the mixture is well blended.
Step 8
Once the shrimp are perfectly cooked, transfer them to a large bowl and drizzle the buttery concoction over them, tossing gently to ensure an even coating.
Step 9
Serve immediately with fresh lemon wedges on the side for a zesty finish.
Step 10
Enjoy this delightful dish that brings the taste of the sea right to your table!.
