Doneness
Shrimp curl into a loose C-shape and turn opaque pink throughout; tightly curled into an O-shape means overcooked.
Oil & seasoning
Toss with 1 tsp olive oil before adding to the basket.
Season with: salt, black pepper, garlic powder, Old Bay, lemon.
Watch out for
- Use peeled, deveined shrimp. Shell-on shrimp need 1–2 minutes longer and do not crisp as well.
- Do not crowd the basket — shrimp release liquid and will steam rather than fry if overlapped.
