Description
Delicious air fryer cajun shrimp that is quick and easy to prepare. Perfect as a main dish or with pasta.
Ingredients
Scale
- 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
- Gently break apart any frozen shrimp that are stuck together. Toss them with oil and seasoning, coating them as best as possible.
- Spread 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.
- Cook 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.
- Serve 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!
Notes
- For best results, do not overcrowd the air fryer basket.
- You can adjust the seasoning level based on personal taste.
