AIR FRYER FROZEN SHRIMP TEMPURA

Steps:

• Preheat the air fryer to 360 degrees Fahrenheit.
• When the air fryer is hot, add the frozen tempura shrimp to the air fryer tray. There shouldn't be any overlap so if you can't fit them all, make less or cook this amount in two batches.
• Cook the frozen shrimp for 11-14 minutes total until they are fully cooked through and lightly golden brown on the outside. Flip the shrimp halfway through. Some shrimps might come precooked but others are uncooked. In this case, make sure to fully cook them - the internal temperature needs to be 165 degrees Fahrenheit.
• Once cooked and crispy, remove the shrimp from the air fryer and serve with dipping sauce (often frozen shrimp tempura comes with one).
