INGREDIENTS YOU’LL NEED

• Shrimp – Fresh or frozen shrimp will work. Just make sure to use raw, peeled, and deveined shrimp. Also, make sure to completely thaw if using frozen shrimp.
• Old Bay Seasoning – This can be found at your local supermarket in the spice aisle.
• Butter – It is crucial that you use unsalted butter otherwise your shrimp will turn out too salty because the old bay seasoning contains plenty of salt.

HOW TO MAKE

1. Brush the shrimp with melted butter and season generously with old bay seasoning.
2. Spray your air fryer basket with nonstick spray and place the shrimp in the basket.
3. Cook at 400 degrees F for 5-6 minutes, shaking the basket halfway.
4. Serve with lime or lemon wedges and enjoy!

I RAN OUT OF OLD BAY SEASONING CAN I STILL MAKE THESE?

Yes, of course! Feel free to use the spices of your choice or simply season the shrimp with salt and pepper. As long as you cook the shrimp at 400 degrees for 5-6 minutes they will turn out perfectly every single time.

TOP TIP

Don’t overcook the shrimp, not even for a minute otherwise they will turn out tough and rubbery.

STORAGE

Place any leftovers in an air-tight container and refrigerate for up to 2 days. Reheat in the air fryer until heated through.
