Today, May 10th is National Shrimp Day. As Bubba Gump noted in the movie Forrest Gump, there are lots of ways to serve up shrimp. I’m sharing a shrimp hoisin recipe in this post. This easy air fryer shrimp recipe only takes seven minutes to cook in my Ninja AF101 air fryer.
I have a love-hate relationship with shrimp. I “hate” to devein them but I love how good they taste. Since shrimp is one of the few kinds of seafood that everyone in my family will eat, I try to mix up how I prepare them. This hoisin shrimp recipe is one of my favorite ways.
Air Fryer Shrimp Step-By-Step Guide
Marinate one pound of (peeled, deveined, cleaned) shrimp for 15-30 minutes. I sprinkle sea salt and coarsely ground black pepper on the shrimp. Then, I toss them with 2 tablespoons of hoisin sauce, 1 teaspoon of soy sauce and 3 cloves of chopped garlic.
Preheat the air fryer to 390°F for 3 to 5 minutes.
Spritz the air fryer basket with oil and place the marinated shrimp in it.
Air fry the shrimp at 390°F for 7 minutes, flipping them over at the 4-minute mark.
Remove the shrimp from the air fryer basket and serve.
