Recipe Variations For Shrimp and Veggies In Air Fryer

• Frozen or Fresh Shrimp: Either will work. I used frozen shrimp, which was perfectly cooked up. The air fryer does an amazing job at perfectly cooking up frozen shrimp.
• Vegetables: Use any of the vegetables that you have. My mother used to make a shrimp stir fry the day before she went grocery shopping, and would use all of her vegetables that she didn’t use during the week.
• Frozen Vegetables: Don’t have any fresh vegetables, you can make this recipe by using any frozen vegetables. The recipe will work the same!
• Seasonings: Adjust your seasonings to your own tastebuds. My son usually adds some red pepper flakes for some spice, before eating this air fryer stir fry!

Pro Tips For Cooking Shrimp And Vegetables In Air Fryer

• Use High-Quality Ingredients: For the best results, use fresh shrimp and high-quality vegetables. Fresh ingredients will have better flavor and texture compared to frozen or low-quality ones.
• Keep Ingredients Dry: Pat the shrimp and vegetables dry with paper towels before seasoning and cooking. Excess moisture can prevent proper browning and crispiness in the air fryer.
• Season Generously: Season the shrimp and vegetables with your favorite seasonings before cooking. Garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper are classic choices for seasoning shrimp and vegetables, but feel free to experiment with different herbs and spices.
• Don’t Overcrowd the Basket: Arrange the shrimp and vegetables in a single layer in the air fryer basket, making sure they are not overcrowded. Overcrowding can prevent proper air circulation and result in uneven cooking.
• Flip or Shake: Halfway through the cooking time, flip the shrimp and shake the basket to ensure even cooking. This helps to promote even browning and crispiness on all sides.
• Monitor Cooking Time: Keep an eye on the shrimp and vegetables as they cook, as cooking times can vary depending on the size and thickness of the ingredients. Avoid overcooking, as this can result in tough shrimp and soggy vegetables.
• Serve Immediately: Once cooked, remove the shrimp and vegetables from the air fryer immediately and serve them hot. Air-fried food is best enjoyed right away while it’s still hot and crispy.
• Experiment with Marinades: Marinating the shrimp and vegetables before cooking can add extra flavor and moisture. Try marinating them in your favorite sauce or dressing for an extra burst of flavor.
• Clean the Air Fryer Promptly: After cooking, clean the air fryer basket and tray promptly to prevent any residue from building up. This will help maintain the air fryer’s performance and prolong its lifespan.
