To prepare SeaPak Popcorn Shrimp, you can bake them in an oven or cook them in an air fryer for optimal crispiness. For baking, spread the frozen shrimp in a single layer on a baking sheet and cook according to package directions until golden brown and heated through. Air frying offers a similar result with a shorter cooking time. Ensure the shrimp are fully cooked and the coating is crisp before serving. Avoid overcrowding the cooking surface to achieve the best texture.
