How To Make Air Fryer Shrimp on the Barbie (Outback Copycat Recipe)

CHOOSING THE RIGHT SHRIMP

The options for buying shrimp can be overwhelming. Do you buy fresh or frozen? What about the size of the shrimp? The color? Whether they are peeled and deveined? It’s enough to make your head spin!

I prefer to use fresh shrimp for this recipe since threading the shrimp through the skewer is easier. If you only have frozen shrimp, you can easily thaw it in cold water before assembling the skewers.

You can either use large, jumbo, or colossal shrimp. I recommend purchasing deveined and shelled since this will eliminate some of the prep work for you.
