What is the best seasoning for air fryer shrimp tacos?

We love using taco seasoning for shrimp tacos because it's fast, easy, and full of flavor. We love Siete Taco Seasoning or Mateo's Southwest Ranch Taco Seasoning (sold at Walmart), but any taco seasoning works well.

What is a good sauce for shrimp tacos?

We love guacamole , cilantro lime aioli , or mango peach salsa on ours. Regular salsa or pico de gallo are great options as well.

How do I store these tacos?

If you plan to have leftovers, only add cheese to the tortillas you plan on using, and save the rest for future meals. Store the cooked shrimp, cheese, and tortillas in separate air-tight containers for up to 3-4 days in the refrigerator. Then heat the tortillas and cheese as instructed, and reheat the shrimp for a minute or two at 400°F in the air fryer (or until warm).

Instructions

Pat shrimp dry with a paper towel, then add it to a large mixing bowl with oil and taco seasoning. Mix until well combined.
Add the shrimp to your air fryer basket and air fry for 8 minutes at 400°F. At the 4 minute mark, shake the air fryer basket to redistribute the shrimp.
While the shrimp is cooking, add cheese down the center of each tortilla. Once the shrimp is done, remove it from the air fryer and place it into a serving bowl or onto a plate. Then fold the tortillas like a taco and place them side-by-side in the air fryer. Air fry for 2 minutes at 400°F, or until the cheese is melted and the tortillas are warm.
Compile the tacos. Add shrimp and your desired toppings to each taco, then serve immediately.
