Follow The Directions

01

Step
5 mins

Preheat an air fryer to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C) for 5 minutes.

02

Step
0 mins

While the air fryer is heating, separate frozen shrimp if necessary and knock off any ice crystals that may have developed with a spoon.

03

Step
4 mins

Place a single layer of frozen shrimp, about 1/2 pound, in the cooking area of the preheated air fryer and cook for 4 minutes.

04

Step
0 mins

Combine melted butter, seafood seasoning, and cayenne pepper in a small bowl.

05

Step
4 mins

When the timer sounds, brush each shrimp with seasoned butter, turn over, and brush the other side as well. Air-fry until shrimp are bright pink on the outside and the meat is opaque, 3 to 4 more minutes. Repeat with remaining shrimp.

06

Step
0 mins

Garnish with parsley and lemon wedges.

For extra flavor, marinate the shrimp in the butter mixture for 10-15 minutes before air frying.
Don't overcrowd the air fryer basket; cook in batches to ensure even cooking.
Adjust the cayenne pepper to your desired level of spiciness.
Serve immediately for the best taste and texture.
