• Kirkland Panko Shrimp
• Cooking spray – avocado oil spray or olive oil spray are both great options.
• Favorite dipping sauce – such as sweet Thai chili sauce, creamy chipotle sauce, garlic butter, hot sauce, etc.

HOW TO MAKE

1. Preheat the Air Fryer: Preheat your air fryer to 400 degrees F for a few minutes to ensure that it’s ready to cook your shrimp to perfection.
2. Arrange the Shrimp: Place the Kirkland Panko Shrimp in a single layer in the air fryer basket. Avoid overcrowding to allow proper air circulation.
3. Optional Light Coating: For an extra crispiness, lightly coat the shrimp with cooking spray or a thin layer of oil. This step is optional but highly recommended for a satisfying crunch.
4. Air Fry to Perfection: Cook the shrimp for approximately 14-17 minutes, flipping halfway through. Keep an eye on them to achieve your desired level of crispiness.
5. Serve and Enjoy: Once the Kirkland Panko Shrimp are golden brown and crispy, remove them from the air fryer, let them cool for a moment, and serve immediately.

STORING LEFTOVER AIR FRYER SHRIMP

1. Refrigeration: Place the leftover shrimp in an airtight container and store it in the refrigerator. Consume within 2-3 days for optimal taste and texture.
2. Labeling: To keep track of freshness, label the container with the date of storage. This ensures you know how long the shrimp has been stored.
3. Avoid Overcrowding: Arrange the shrimp in the container in a single layer to prevent them from sticking together. Overcrowding may lead to a loss of quality.
4. Reheating: When ready to enjoy again, reheat the shrimp in the air fryer.
5. Serve with Freshness: Enhance the reheated experience by pairing the shrimp with a squeeze of fresh lemon juice or your favorite dipping sauce.
