Ingredients

  • 1 lb frozen raw peeled jumbo shrimp see size note below

  • ½ teaspoon pepper
US Customary - Metric

Instructions

  • Place shrimp in the air fryer basket.
  • Lightly spray the shrimp with cooking spray or mist lightly with olive oil.

Notes

I recommend using  jumbo shrimp for this recipe. Extra large shrimp are 26-30 per pound and jumbo are 21-25 shrimp per pound. If using extra large, reduce the second final cooking time to 3-4 minutes versus 5minutes for jumbo.
