Ingredients Equipment Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1 package of SeaPak Tempura Shrimp frozen
  • Olive oil spray optional, for extra crispiness
  • Dipping sauces e.g., sweet chili sauce, soy sauce, or tartar sauce, optional
  • Side dishes e.g., rice, salad, or steamed vegetables, optional

Equipment

  • Air fryer
  • Tongs or spatula (for flipping the shrimp)
  • Cooking spray (optional)
  • Plate or serving dish

Method
 

  1. Preheat the Air Fryer: Preheat your air fryer to 400°F (200°C) for about 5 minutes. Preheating helps achieve that perfect crispiness for the shrimp.
  2. Prepare the Shrimp: Take the SeaPak Tempura Shrimp out of the packaging. No thawing is needed; you can cook them straight from frozen.
  3. Arrange the Shrimp in the Air Fryer Basket: Place the shrimp in a single layer in the air fryer basket. Make sure there’s space between each shrimp to allow for even cooking. If you have a large batch, consider cooking them in two smaller batches for the best results.
  4. Air Fry the Shrimp: Set the air fryer to 400°F (200°C) and cook for 6-10 minutes, depending on your air fryer and the size of the shrimp. Halfway through the cooking time, shake the basket or flip the shrimp to ensure even crisping.
  5. Check for Doneness: Once the shrimp are golden brown and crispy, check to make sure they are cooked through. The shrimp should be opaque in the center, and the batter should be perfectly crispy.
  6. Serve and Enjoy:Remove the shrimp from the air fryer and serve them immediately with your favorite dipping sauces and side dishes.

Notes

  • Don’t Overcrowd the Basket: To achieve a crispy texture, it’s essential not to overcrowd the shrimp in the basket. Cook in batches if necessary.
  • Spray with Oil: For extra crispiness, lightly spray the shrimp with cooking oil before air frying.
  • Cooking Time Variations: Air fryer cooking times can vary depending on the model, so check your shrimp halfway through and adjust the time as needed.
  • Reheating Tips: To reheat the shrimp, set the air fryer to 350°F (175°C) and cook for 3-4 minutes, just until heated through.
