Method

Preheat the Air Fryer: Preheat the air fryer to 400°F (200°C) for about 3-5 minutes.
Prepare the Shrimp: Open the bag of Seapak Popcorn Shrimp and remove the shrimp from the package. No thawing required – they can go straight from frozen into the air fryer.
Spray the Basket: Lightly spray the air fryer basket with non-stick cooking spray, or use a little olive oil to help crisp up the shrimp.
Arrange the Shrimp: Place the shrimp in the air fryer basket in a single layer. Avoid overcrowding to ensure they cook evenly.
Cook the Shrimp: Air fry the shrimp at 400°F (200°C) for 10-12 minutes. Shake the basket halfway through cooking to ensure even crispiness.
Serve: Once done, remove the shrimp from the air fryer and serve with your favorite dipping sauces. Enjoy!

Notes

For best results, do not overcrowd the air fryer basket. The shrimp should be in a single layer to ensure they cook evenly and become crispy.
You can adjust the cooking time slightly depending on your air fryer model. Check the shrimp a couple of minutes before the recommended cooking time to avoid overcooking.
If you want extra crispy shrimp, you can lightly spray them with a bit of olive oil before cooking.
Leftovers can be stored in the refrigerator for 2-3 days or frozen for up to 1 month. When reheating, air fry at 375°F (190°C) for 5 minutes to restore their crispiness.
