I love breaded popcorn shrimp and I remember always ordering them at restaurants when I was younger. Now that I am older and have my own family, it’s much easier to just grab them from the freezer and pop them into the air fryer. You get that same fresh crispy taste as you do at your favorite restaurants! I love to use the air fryer for frozen foods because of the dynamics and the way it works....
