CAN YOU PUT FOIL IN THE AIR FRYER

Iv’e been asked this question many times and the answer is yes.

I use it often when cooking sticky foods as the clean up after is that much easier. 

WHAT IS AIR FRYING

Air frying is a healthy alternative to deep frying food. And most air fryers have been marketed in a way to make you think that this cooking technique is best for those who make a lot of those at home.  

Well I am here to tell you that you do not need to just be a deep fried food lover to want to use this cooking method. RATHER if you love to bake food, then this is also a great alternative. And in most cases is much healthier than traditional baking methods. 

CAN YOU AIR FRY POPCORN SHRIMP

Of course, and you don’t need a deep fryer to have homemade crispy popcorn shrimp in the comfort of your own home.

You just need an air fryer. I like to serve my popcorn shrimp with shrimp sauce or spicy mayo. You can also serve with fresh lemon wedges which work well too!

HOW TO AIR FRY POPCORN SHRIMP

• You are going to want to start with a bag of frozen popcorn shrimp
• Then simply add them to your air fryer. It does not matter if they pile on top of each other as it will cook all the same.
• Cook for 10 minutes.
• Shake them after ten minutes and place back in the fryer for another 2-4 minutes. 
• And don’t forget to serve with your favorite dipping sauce.

WHAT’S POPCORN SHRIMP

It is shrimp that has been battered. With either flour or panko bread crumbs and is then seasoned and baked or deep fried or in this case = air fried.
