To prepare, preheat your oven or air fryer to the recommended temperature. Arrange the frozen bites in a single layer on a baking sheet or in the air fryer basket. Bake or air fry for the specified time, turning halfway through, until the coating is golden brown and crispy and the shrimp is cooked through. Avoid overcrowding the cooking surface for best results. Serve immediately while hot and crispy.
How it differs from similar foods
Unlike fresh shrimp that requires individual preparation and cooking, these bites are fully assembled and ready to heat. The Parmesan crust provides a distinct flavor and texture that is not present in plain shrimp. Their uniform size also ensures consistent cooking.

How to keep the rest
Keep these bites frozen in their original packaging until ready to use. Once opened, ensure the package is sealed tightly to prevent freezer burn. Store in the freezer compartment of your refrigerator.
