The tacos with fried shrimp and a special salsa are one of my faves.

Ingredients
- 1 pound shell-on deveined jumbo shrimp
- nonstick cooking spray
- 3 tablespoons butter
- 1 tablespoon hot pepper sauce
- 1 teaspoon reduced-sodium seafood seasoning (such as Old Bay®)
- 2 wedges lemon, for serving
Instructions
- Preheat an air fryer to 390 degrees F (200 degrees C).
- Quickly rinse shrimp under cold water to remove any ice or sediment. Pat dry with paper towels. Place shrimp in one layer in the basket of the air fryer and lightly mist with cooking spray. You may have to do 2 batches depending on the size of your air fryer.
- Air-fry shrimp for 5 minutes. Flip and continue cooking shrimp until shrimp are bright pink on the outside and the meat is opaque, 3 to 4 minutes longer.
- Meanwhile, place butter in a small microwave-safe bowl. Heat butter at 50 percent power until melted, 30 to 60 seconds. Mix in hot sauce and Old Bay® seasoning.
- Place cooked shrimp into a large bowl. Drizzle with butter mixture and toss to coat. Serve immediately with lemon wedges.
- If you are using smaller shrimp, reduce cooking time by 1 to 2 minutes.
- If you are using regular Old Bay(R) seasoning, use unsalted butter.

Reviews
I was a bit skeptical because I’ve never heard of cooking raw shrimp from frozen but this was AMAZING and stupid easy!! I just put this recipe – including the butter/Old Bay/hot sauce combo (plus fresh lemons!) to the TOP of my repeat-always list! I have made this twice in 24 hours! Thanks FranceC for giving me a new favorite main, side or app dish!!
