Popcorn Shrimp in the Air Fryer

Cook frozen popcorn shrimp straight from the freezer at 400°F (200°C) for 5-7 minutes. No thawing. Brand notes included.

400°F for 5 to 7 minutes, shake at 3.

1. 1

   Do not thaw. Preheat the air fryer to 400°F.

2. 2

   Spread the frozen popcorn shrimp in a single layer straight from the bag.

3. 3

   Air fry for 5 to 7 minutes, shaking the basket at 3 minutes so nothing fuses together.

4. 4

   Follow the package directions and check the center for doneness. Browning alone does not show that raw meat or poultry is cooked safely.

Use these settings as a starting point; thickness, quantity, and appliance model affect timing. How to use our cooking guides.
