Notes
Depending on the size of your air fryer or Ninja Foodi and how many shrimp you're making, you may have to air crisp in multiple batches. Turn on your oven to 200 degrees Fahrenheit to keep your shrimp warm in between batches.
Spice up your shrimp by adding a dash of cayenne pepper or chili powder!
If you're using pre-cooked shrimp, simply air crisp for 3-5 minutes, or until shrimp get to desired level of crispiness.
Store any leftovers in an airtight glass container in the refrigerator for up to 3-5 days. Reheat in air fryer at 355 degrees Fahrenheit for 2-3 minutes.
Safety first! I love using my silicone oven mitts and tongs to keep myself safe while using my Ninja Foodi.
