· Cooking time: Cooking time may vary depending on the size and thickness of your shrimp. Keep an eye on them and cook until they are opaque and cooked through.
· Marinating: Marinating the shrimp for at least 30 minutes helps to infuse them with flavor and tenderize them. However, you can marinate them for up to 2 hours for even deeper flavors.
· Skewers: Using skewers is optional, but it can help prevent the shrimp from curling up while cooking.
· Crowding: Avoid overcrowding the air fryer basket, as this can prevent the shrimp from cooking evenly. Cook them in batches if necessary.
