Oh, and it’s an air fryer recipe… Need we say more? Air fryers seem to be all the rage lately, and for good reason! Using an air fryer for this recipe gives the shrimp the perfect texture without making them rubbery or greasy. It also cooks them so quickly!
This method for cooking shrimp is truly one of our best! The shrimp themselves only need 5 ingredients to make them delicious, and 7 minutes in the air fryer to cook them to perfection. When it comes to easy dinner ideas, it doesn’t get much better than air fryer shrim
What to Serve with Air Fryer Shrimp
The possibilities are truly limitless when it comes to side dishes! There are so many side dish options that would pair perfectly with shrimp.
Here are some we recommend trying with your Shrimp:
- Salad: a Cesar or Italian salad would be great served under these juicy shrimp!
- Pasta: any type of pasta dish would be delicious, but they would be amazing over some buttery parmesan noodles or noodles tossed in Alfredo sauce.
- Mashed potatoes: or grits! As Texas girls, we have to mention some good cheesy grits to go with your shrimp!
- Corn on the Cob
- Roasted Vegetables
How long will the shrimp stay fresh?
In an airtight container in the refrigerator, cooked shrimp will stay fresh for up to 3 days! When you’re ready to eat them again, you can reheat your leftover shrimp in the air fryer again. Just a few minutes at 400°F should do the trick!
Be careful not to reheat them too long in the air fryer, or they’ll dry out quickly and become rubbery. You can also always use the microwave as well. We like to use the air fryer to reheat them because it brings them back to close to the same texture as freshly cooked shrimp!
