Notes
- Pat the shrimp completely dry before adding the marinade. Excess moisture turns into steam and prevents that slightly caramelized exterior.
- Argentine red shrimp are naturally deep red-pink before cooking. Use texture and temperature to judge doneness, not color.
- Air fryer models vary. Start checking at 6 minutes and pull them the moment they reach 145°F internally.
- Don't crowd the basket. Overlapping shrimp will steam instead of roasting. Cook in batches if needed.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 days. Reheat in the air fryer at 350°F for 3 to 4 minutes. Avoid the microwave
