Notes

No extra oil needed! There is no need for oiling your air fryer basket with these frozen tempura shrimp, they are oily enough on their own.
Flip Halfway Through -  Flip the shrimp at least once halfway during the cooking process to ensure the tempura shrimp is cooked evenly.
Cooking Time Can Vary - Not all air fryers are the same! You may to watch your food closely toward the end of the cooking cycle. You maybe need to adjust your time by a minute or two depending on these factors. Cook in batches if needed!
