  • Total Time: 12-14 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings

Ingredients

Ingredients

  • 1 pound frozen shrimp (21-30 count)
  • 1 teaspoon blackening seasoning
  • Olive oil spray
  • Salt, to taste
  • Black pepper, to taste

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Shrimp: Add the frozen shrimp to the air fryer basket. Ensure all the shrimp are separated and not clumped together to allow even cooking.
  2. Season the Shrimp: Lightly spray the shrimp with olive oil spray. Sprinkle the blackening seasoning, salt, and pepper evenly over the shrimp to coat them thoroughly.
  3. Air Fry: Set the air fryer to 400°F (204°C) and cook the shrimp for 10-12 minutes, or until they turn opaque pink and are cooked through, shaking the basket halfway for even cooking if desired.
  4. Serve: Carefully remove the shrimp from the air fryer and serve immediately. Enjoy as a quick appetizer or add to your favorite dishes.

Notes

  • Do not thaw the shrimp before cooking; cook them directly from frozen for best results.
  • Adjust blackening seasoning to taste depending on desired spice level.
  • If your air fryer basket is small, cook shrimp in batches to avoid overcrowding.
  • Use peeled and deveined shrimp for easier eating.
