Nobody would believe you created this fried rice in an air fryer since it is so mouthwatering and savory. A fantastic contrast to the chewy core is provided by the abundance of toasted, crunchy rice particles. The bits of peas pop in your mouth, and the shrimp is moist and soft. Sriracha mayo and fresh green onion are the ideal finishing touches to complete it. In the absence of shrimp, you can use leftover chicken or beef.
