Notes
Storing and Reheating: You can store any leftover shrimp in an airtight container in the fridge. They’ll stay fresh for up to 3 days. When you're ready to serve, just reheat them in the air fryer on 375°F for a couple of minutes, until warmed through.
Cajun Seasoning: We highly recommend this easy recipe for our favorite homemade cajun seasoning. If you want to go with store-bought, we prefer Slap Ya Mama Cajun Seasoning. You can also use Old Bay for this dish, that’s another great option – check out our homemade Old Bay Seasoning recipe and enjoy!
