Description

This Air Fryer Shrimp Recipe is a quick, simple way to enjoy perfectly cooked shrimp right at home. Using just a handful of ingredients and your trusty air fryer, you’ll end up with delicious shrimp that’s a hit on any dining table.

Ingredients

Scale

1 pound large shrimp (peeled and deveined)
2 tablespoons avocado oil
¼ teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon paprika
½ teaspoon salt
¼ teaspoon black pepper
Lemon wedges (for serving (optional))
Chopped parsley (for garnish (optional))

Instructions

Step 1: In a bowl, combine the avocado oil, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper.
Step 2: Add the peeled and deveined shrimp to the bowl and toss until they are evenly coated with the seasoning mixture. Let the shrimp marinate for about 10 minutes.
Step 3: Preheat your air fryer to 400°F (200°C) for about 3-5 minutes.
Step 4: Once the air fryer is preheated, place the seasoned shrimp in the air fryer basket in a single layer, making sure they are not overlapping.
Step 5: Cook the shrimp in the air fryer for 5-6 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through the cooking time to ensure even cooking.
Step 6: Once the shrimp are pink and opaque, remove them from the air fryer.
Step 7: Serve the air fryer shrimp hot with lemon wedges for squeezing over the top and garnish with chopped parsley, if desired.

Notes

If using frozen shrimp, ensure they are completely thawed before cooking. To avoid rubbery shrimp, cook only until they turn pink and slightly curled. To prevent sticking, ensure shrimp are well coated with oil or use non-stick cooking spray on the basket. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to two days.
