Tips and tricks for cooking shrimp in the air fryer

The “Shrimp” program in the HAG-8080 air fryer: 180 °C, 15–20 minutes. Tips on marinade, timing, a crispy coating and serving.

“Shrimp” program

  • 180 °C, 15–20 minutes.

Marinade — keep it short

  • 10–15 minutes of marinating is enough for shrimp (olive oil, garlic, lemon juice, paprika, chili).
  • Don't leave them too long — the meat will turn rubbery.

Temperature and time

  • Ideal: 180 °C, 7–10 minutes. Overcooked shrimp lose their juiciness.

For extra crunch

  • Lightly dust them with breadcrumbs or cornstarch for a golden crust.

Leave the tails on

  • Shrimp look more impressive that way and are easier to eat.

Don't overload the basket

  • The shrimp should lie in a single layer, otherwise they'll stew instead of roasting.

Finishing touch and serving

  • After cooking, drizzle with lemon juice and add fresh herbs (cilantro, parsley, dill).
  • Serve with sauces: garlic, creamy, sweet chili or teriyaki.
