DESCRIPTION
Shrimp come out plump and delicious in just a few minutes when you cook them in the air fryer. I use medium shrimp (51-60 shrimp per pound) that have already been peeled and deveined, tail removed. That is, use shrimp that no longer have their peels on them. The tails are fine to have on though.
