Equipment

  • Air fryer
  • Mixing bowls
  • Tongs
  • Measuring cups/spoons
  • Non-stick spray or brush

Ingredients
  

  • 1 pound large shrimp peeled and deveined
  • 2 tablespoons avocado oil
  • 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • Lemon wedges for serving (optional)
  • Chopped parsley for garnish (optional)

Instructions
 

  • In a bowl, combine the avocado oil, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Stir until well mixed.
  • Add the peeled and deveined shrimp to the bowl and toss them gently to coat each shrimp evenly with the seasoning mixture. Let the shrimp marinate for about 10 minutes to soak up the flavors.
  • Preheat your air fryer to 400°F (200°C) for 3-5 minutes. This ensures that the shrimp will cook evenly and get a nice crispy texture.
  • Place the seasoned shrimp in the air fryer basket in a single layer. Be sure not to overcrowd them, so they cook evenly.
  • Cook the shrimp at 400°F (200°C) for 5-6 minutes. Shake the basket halfway through to make sure the shrimp cook evenly on all sides.
  • The shrimp are ready when they turn pink and opaque. If necessary, cook them for an extra minute or two, but be careful not to overcook.
  • Carefully remove the shrimp from the air fryer and serve them hot. Squeeze lemon wedges over the shrimp for a burst of freshness and garnish with chopped parsley for a touch of color. Enjoy your delicious Air Fryer Shrimp!
