Preparation

  2. Thread the marinated shrimp onto the skewers, leaving a little space between each shrimp for even cooking.
  3. Arrange the skewers in a single layer in the air fryer basket. Avoid overcrowding.
  4. Air fry the shrimp skewers for 8-10 minutes, flipping halfway through, until they are opaque and slightly crispy.
  5. Check for doneness; the shrimp should reach an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C).
  6. Carefully remove the skewers from the air fryer and serve immediately with your favorite dipping sauce.
