    How to Air Fry Trader Joe’s Coconut Shrimp

    air fryer coconut shrimp frozen before cooking

    Not only is the ingredient list super short for air fryer frozen coconut shrimp, but the cooking steps are as well. After a quick preheat, we are going to cook our shrimp pieces from frozen, flipping once, and then serve.

    Air Fryer Temperature

    To cook air fryer frozen coconut shrimp, first, preheat your air fryer to 400F for 5 minutes.

    Many air fryer models have a preheat feature, but if yours does not you can simply turn the unit to 400F and allow it to run for 5 minutes to bring it up to temperature.

    How long to cook pre-cooked shrimp in air fryer?

    Put the frozen coconut shrimp in a single layer in the air fryer basket. Leave space around the shrimps so that they cook evenly.

    Cook the shrimp for a total of 8-10 minutes and flip halfway through cooking.

    Check the shrimp for doneness after 8 minutes of total cooking time since all air fryers cook evenly.

    Remove the shrimp and serve it immediately with your favorite dipping sauce.

    Recipe Tips

    • Do not defrost the shrimp before cooking. Our frozen coconut shrimp in air fryer recipe is designed to cook your frozen shrimp pieces from frozen.
    • You will need to give your frozen shrimp pieces room in your air fryer in order to allow the warm air to circulate all the way around.
    • Shrimp cooks very fast, do not over cook it since it’ll get tough and rubbery. For best results, keep an eye on your air fryer frozen coconut shrimp during the last 1-2 minutes of cooking.
    • Any brand of frozen coconut shrimp will work whether you’re using Trader Joes, Seapak coconut shrimp, or another brand.
    • The recipe works for an air fryer basket or air fryer oven.
