Shrimp

I have used large-sized shrimp.The size though is subjective.These are almost 2 inches in circumference.

If using smaller shrimp - Change the air frying time to 4-5 minutes

If using larger shrimp- Increase the time to 8-9 minutes.

A shrimp is cooked if it is 1. Orange 2. Curls into a C.

Buffalo Sauce

Use any hot sauce you like. Some hot sauces need a little bit of vinegar and salt to balance it out.Do taste test before using in the recipe.

This amount of buffalo sauce will comfortably coat ½ pound of shrimp.If you like more sauce on the shrimp, double the recipe.
