Making frozen shrimp in the air fryer is the answer to quick, easy weeknight meals - especially when you need it at the last minute because this recipe doesn't require any thawing! Toss frozen shrimp with your favorite seasoning blend and air fry for less than 10 minutes.

📝 Ingredients

  • 8 ounces raw frozen shrimp* (41/50, peeled & deveined)
  • 1 Tablespoon olive oil (or neutral oil)
  • 1 teaspoon cajun seasoning (or seasoning of choice)

👨‍🍳 Instructions

  1. 1Gently break apart any frozen shrimp that are stuck together. Toss them with oil and seasoning, coating them as best as possible.
  2. 2Spread in a single layer on the rack of the air fryer basket. It's important to use the rack because it helps cook them evenly, and drains the excess liquid as they thaw.
  3. 3Cook at 325°F for 6-8 minutes, flipping halfway through. The shrimp should be pink and opaque when ready. If using jumbo shrimp, they may need longer, if using smaller shrimp, they'll need less time.
  4. 4Serve alongside vegetable sides or toss with a creamy pasta recipe. Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge and use within 1-2 days. Enjoy!
