Fish fry seasoning, egg, and a spritz of oil are all you need to make these tasty, crispy air fryer shrimp! Use your favorite brand of fish fry breading mix. Serve with cocktail sauce, lemon-garlic aioli, or whatever you prefer! I like to use a Misto® sprayer with my own oil, but feel free to use regular cooking spray.

Tips:
- Choose the right shrimp: Jumbo shrimp are the best option for air frying as they are large enough to withstand the high heat without drying out.
- Thaw frozen shrimp properly: If using frozen shrimp, thaw them in the refrigerator overnight or under cold running water for 30 minutes.
- Remove the shells and devein the shrimp: This will make them easier to eat and will help the marinade to penetrate the shrimp.
- Marinate the shrimp: Marinating the shrimp in a mixture of olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, and herbs will add flavor and help to keep them moist.
- Preheat the air fryer: Preheat the air fryer to 400°F (200°C) for at least 5 minutes before cooking the shrimp.
- Cook the shrimp in a single layer: This will ensure that they cook evenly.
- Shake the air fryer basket halfway through cooking: This will help to prevent the shrimp from sticking to the basket and will ensure that they cook evenly.
- Cook the shrimp until they are opaque and pink: The shrimp should be cooked through but not overcooked. Overcooked shrimp will become tough and rubbery.
- Serve the shrimp immediately: Air-fried shrimp are best served immediately with your favorite dipping sauce.
Conclusion:
Air-fried jumbo shrimp are a delicious and healthy appetizer or main course. They are easy to make and can be cooked in just 10 minutes. By following these tips, you can cook perfect air-fried shrimp every time.
