AIR FRYER ESSENTIALS: SPICY CAJUN SHRIMP



Air Fryer Essentials: Spicy Cajun Shrimp image

Threw this together last night and was pleasantly surprised at how flavorful they were. The two changes I made were to use butter, in place of oil, and the addition of the breadcrumbs. Plus, the dipping sauce, adds just the right amount of heat, and sweet. Easy/Peasy to make... great to eat. So, you ready... Let's get into...
