Notes
- Store leftovers in an airtight container for 1 to 2 days in the refrigerator or freeze for up to 3 months.
- To reheat, place shrimp back in the air fryer for 2-3 minutes or until warmed through to preserve crispness.
- Ensure shrimp are properly cooked by checking their internal temperature reaches 145ºF.
- You can adjust Old Bay seasoning to taste if you prefer a milder or spicier flavor.
- If you don’t have fresh parsley, dried parsley can be substituted but add it after cooking to preserve flavor.
