Air fryer version of salt and pepper shrimp

Overview

I like to eat salt and pepper shrimp, but the traditional method requires deep frying, which I don't like. Nowadays, there is an air fryer. Just add a little oil, a little salt, a little five-spice powder and a little chili powder, and you can easily make a plate of salt and pepper shrimp. It's so easy, and it's crispy and delicious. The light salty, five-flavored and spicy taste brings out the fresh and sweet taste of the shrimp itself. It's delicious.

  2. Gently lift the toothpick upwards and the shrimp lines will come out. Don't use too much force as the shrimp thread may break easily.

  3. There is another place to pick the shrimp line, which is at the head of the shrimp. Break off one side of the shrimp head, insert a toothpick from the back of the shrimp head, and then pick it up, and the shrimp thread will come out.
