HOW TO MAKE AIR FRYER CAJUN SHRIMP DINNER
Step 1: Place the Cajun seasoning and shrimp in a large bowl. Toss to coat.
Step 2: In the same bowl, add in the sausage, zucchini, squash, bell peppers, and salt. Then, mix with the oil.
Step 3: Prepare the oven. Preheat it to 400 degrees F.
Step 4: Transfer the shrimp and vegetables to the air fryer basket. Do this in 2 batches if your baskets are small. Cook for about 8 minutes. Make sure to shake the basket at least 2 to 3 times.
Step 5: Set aside the cooked shrimps and veggies while cooking the rest.
Step 6: Once everything is cooked, place back the first batch to the air fryer and cook for a minute.
NOTE:
I suggest you buy frozen shrimp. Thaw the frozen shrimps overnight in the fridge to defrost.
