To prepare, these shrimp are typically cooked from a frozen state. They can be baked in an oven until golden brown and heated through. Alternatively, they can be cooked in an air fryer for a crispy texture. For best results, ensure the shrimp are spread in a single layer on the baking sheet or in the air fryer basket. Cooking times will vary depending on the method and appliance used. They are ready to eat once fully heated.

Compared to raw shrimp, these are already cooked and breaded, significantly reducing preparation time.
