Super light and crispy popcorn shrimp made in an air fryer. I like to leave the tails on as a handle but feel free to remove them. Serve with cocktail sauce and lemon wedges if desired.

These popcorn shrimp were a hit with my family! They were crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. The air fryer made them so easy to cook, and I didn't have to worry about splattering oil all over my kitchen.
