Well, I finally got an air fryer. I actually picked up a Ninja Foodi at a yard sale for $10! It is multifunctioning – Air crisp (fried), Broil/Bake, Steam and Pressure cook. I have to order the rack that’s used for baking and broiling – but that’s no biggy. And I’m loving it!
I tried a loaf of bread using the bake function – it makes the crust very crispy and the loaf sort of flattens, but it tasted great. We’re using the bread for crostini.
The air fryer is my favorite function. I wanted to make a quick appetizer and put these air fried shrimps together. They are delicious and so easy!
Making the Shrimp –
Rinse the shrimp and drain it on paper towels for five or ten minutes.
Sprinkle it lightly with the old bay.
Cut the bacon slices in half. Carefully wrap a half around a shrimp, anchoring one end while you wrap and securing the whole thing with a toothpick.
Place them in one layer on the crisper of the air fryer.
Fry at 375 degrees for six minutes. Remove the fried shrimp with tongs and repeat with the next batch.
Serve them with some barbecue sauce to dip – or just eat them as is (We liked as is best)!

I definitely enjoy having an air fryer and know that I will enjoy recreating your recipe. Thanks.
Absolutely delicious! The air frying brings out the perfect crispiness of the bacon, and the shrimp inside remains tender and juicy. A mouthwatering combination that’s hard to resist!
