Method
- Preheat your air fryer to 400°F while you prepare the shrimp. Pat the shrimp dry to ensure they crisp up nicely, then toss them in a mixture of olive oil, barbecue sauce, and seasonings. Let the shrimp marinate for about 30 minutes to absorb the bold, smoky flavors.
- Arrange the shrimp in a single layer in the air fryer basket, working in batches if necessary to prevent overcrowding. Air fry for 5-6 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the shrimp are pink, opaque, and slightly crisp on the edges.
- For an extra kick of flavor, brush with additional barbecue sauce during the last minute of cooking.
