Because of their size, shrimp can be easily thawed in the sink a few minutes before cooking. Start by placing the frozen shrimp in a large colander. Turn on the faucet and run cold water over the shrimp for several minutes. Move the shrimp around to ensure they're all thawing properly. You can also place the shrimp in a large bowl with cold water and allow the shrimp to sit, moving them around at times to break them up, for 20-30 minutes before cooking. Remember to dry them before cooking to remove extra moisture. u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eu003cimg alt=u0022frozen shrimp in a colander with water pouring over them.u0022 src=u0022https://travelingspiceco.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/04/Air-Fryer-Shrimp-1.jpgu0022/u003e
