Craving shrimp but forgot to thaw them? No problem! Your air fryer is the secret weapon for transforming frozen shrimp into a quick and delicious meal. Forget long waits and messy thawing – this method is fast, easy, and delivers perfectly cooked shrimp every time.
So, *how long to cook frozen shrimp in the air fryer*? Here's the magic number: **Typically, frozen shrimp cooks in the air fryer for 6-10 minutes at 400°F (200°C).**
However, cooking time depends on the size of your shrimp. Smaller shrimp might be done in 6 minutes, while larger ones could take closer to 10. It's crucial to keep an eye on them!
**Pro Tip:** For the best results, arrange the shrimp in a single layer in the air fryer basket. You can lightly spray them with oil or your favorite seasonings before cooking. Flip them halfway through to ensure even cooking. Cook until they are pink and opaque. Enjoy your perfectly cooked, air-fried frozen shrimp in tacos, pasta, or as a delicious appetizer!
