- Place the shrimp in the air fryer basket, this will need to be done in 2 or 3 batches.

- Once done, carefully remove and cook the additional batch.
- Serve with sides of your choice like celery and ranch dressing.
Notes
Remember all air fryers heat differently, so it's best to check in on them around 8-10 minutes, this recipe uses cooked shrimp so you are just trying to get the golden brown breading.
We did not flip ours, but you can flip them if you prefer.
Each serving is about 8 shrimp.
Cajun seasoning can also be added if preferred.
