For best results, pat the shrimp dry with paper towels before seasoning. This will help the spices adhere better and promote a more flavorful crust. If you don't have blackened seasoning, you can make your own blend using paprika, cayenne pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, dried oregano, dried thyme, salt, and black pepper. Adjust cooking time based on the size of your shrimp and your air fryer model. The shrimp are done when they are pink and opaque.
