Air Fryer Shrimp

I was blown away the first time I tried cooking shrimp in the air fryer. 🤯 It’s so fast and easy, and the shrimp turned out so good! I have many air fryer shrimp recipes, but this one is my favorite. Seasoned with five spices and served with melted paprika butter, they’re beyond flavorful.
