09 -
Wedges of lemon, ready for a quick squeeze of brightness
# Preparation Steps:
01 -
Start by cranking your air fryer up to 400°F (200°C). Let it heat for about 5 minutes so it’s piping hot—this ensures a crispy finish for your shrimp.
02 -
Grab a large bowl and combine the olive oil, garlic, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Toss the shrimp in, mixing everything so each piece gets well covered in the seasoning mix.
03 -
Place the shrimp in a single layer inside your air fryer basket—don’t let them overlap so they fry evenly! Cook them for 8-10 minutes, and make sure to shake the basket once midway to keep things crisp all around.
04 -
Move the shrimp to a plate, squeeze a bit of lemon juice over the top, and sprinkle on some parsley. Serve them hot while they’re still crispy and fresh!
# Additional Tips:
01 -
Using an air fryer gives you crunchy shrimp on the outside, while staying juicy inside
02 -
Pick shrimp of similar size to make sure they all cook evenly
