The answer to hectic weeknights is this frozen shrimp for air frying. Dinner has never been so tasty and easy!.
There is no need for bowls, flour, eggs, or hours of cleanup because it is so simple.
If you’re sick of the same old frozen pizza, try making air-fried frozen shrimp for dinner.
You can only get crispy battered shrimp in this way, consistently and without fail.
You simply put frozen shrimp in the air fryer basket without thawing them first, and the appliance takes care of the rest.
A good bag of frozen shrimp is all you’ll need; no need to dredge shrimp in eggs and batter.
What To Serve With Breaded Shrimp
Like this creamy garlic yogurt dill sauce I like to serve with baked salmon, I love to serve my breaded shrimp with some sort of dipping sauce that will really elevate the flavor of the shrimp!
I also like to add the following dipping sauces to the rotation:
I strongly advise serving the air-fried shrimp with a side of cilantro lime rice and a few asparagus spears that have been air-roasted if you want to serve it as a meal. It’s a perfectly balanced meal!.

How To Make Frozen Breaded Shrimp In The Air Fryer
Place the frozen breaded shrimp in the air fryer basket.
Cook for eight minutes at 400 degrees, rotating the basket halfway through.
Check the shrimp for crispiness after the 8 minutes have passed.
If more cooking time is required, cook for an additional 3 minutes at a time until they are finished (the exact amount of time depends on the size and quantity of shrimp).
Tips for Cooking Frozen Shrimp in an Air Fryer
Do not defrost them. When placing them in the air fryer, you want them to be completely frozen.
Single layer. If you’re cooking butterfly shrimp or jumbo shrimp, only cook them in a single layer; if you stack them, they won’t cook through.
Read your instructions. Make sure to read the specific instructions for your air fryer because some require cooking spray while others do not.
