Remove the frozen popcorn shrimp from its outer packaging. Do not thaw.
Add the frozen popcorn shrimp to the air fryer basket being sure not to overcrowd. Cook in multiple batches if necessary.
Air fry the popcorn shrimp at 400F for 10-12 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through, until golden and crispy.
Serve immediately with your favorite dipping sauce.

Please refer to your shrimp packaging for accurate nutrition values. Each brand will be different.
In larger air fryers, you should be able to cook the whole pound of shrimp, if they don't all fit comfortably, cook the shrimp in two batches.
Pro Tip: This recipe can be made in the air fryer unit with a basket or the air fryer oven. If you are using the air fryer oven, use the middle rack and select the "Air Fry" function.
Pro Tip: Check your food as it cooks. Each air fryer runs a bit differently. Sometimes air frying is a trial and error process. Check your food as it cooks to learn your air fryer better! When cooking a new recipe or food items be sure to check your food often to help avoid over/undercooking.
