For best results, use fresh lemon juice. The flavor is far superior to bottled. If using frozen shrimp, ensure they are fully thawed and patted dry before cooking. This will help them crisp up in the air fryer. Don't overcrowd the air fryer basket. Work in batches if necessary to ensure even cooking. Adjust cooking time slightly depending on the size of your shrimp and the power of your air fryer. Look for the shrimp to be pink and opaque. For an extra touch of flavor, consider adding a pinch of red pepper flakes or a dash of smoked paprika to the butter mixture.
