Nora says
I tripled the seasoning as I had 36 shrimp (medium size) and it was barely enough to coat – it was definitely delicious though. Would recommend. I was only in air fryer for 6 minutes and was definitely cooked.
Jinna says

Keep in mind, you’ll just need to heat them or the shrimp will be tough.

Doni says
I live near the ocean so have fresh shrimp available and this recipe worked really well, although I barely had enough oil/seasoning for half a pound. I was surprised how much I liked them. I almost omitted the Italian seasoning but am glad that I didn’t. Super easy, fast, delicious! I will be making my shrimp this way in the future.
Anna says
Thank you so much, Doni!
