Air Fryer Frozen Breaded Shrimp In Air Fryer —This is one of my son’s favorite meals, the best part of it all is that he cooks it all by himself. Thanks to the air fryer.

The best part of using the air fryer to air fry breaded shrimp is the coating on the outside gets nice and crispy—no more soggy shrimp from the microwave.

The air fryer is my go-to for all of the freezer foods, and my goal is to prepare them all in the air fryer. I have two guesses, I think the air fryer will replace the microwave and that eventually, all food manufacturers will be putting air fryer directions on the packaging.

Until that, I have made a great Freezer Chart for everyone to download and either print and hang in the kitchen or download to your phone.
