Ingredients (~6 servings)
- 1 1/2 lbs large shrimp (peeled, deveined, tail-on)
- 1 1/2 Tbsp olive oil
- 3/4 lemon (juiced)
- 3/4 tsp garlic powder
- 3/4 tsp smoked paprika
- 3/4 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp black pepper
Pat Dry and Season the Shrimp
Preheat your air fryer to 400F and spray the basket with cooking spray.
Pat the shrimp completely dry with paper towels; Any moisture will just steam them instead of getting that slight crisp.
Toss the shrimp in a bowl with the olive oil, lemon juice, garlic powder, smoked paprika, salt and pepper until evenly coated.
Air Fry in Single Layer for ~7-8 Minutes
Place the seasoned shrimp in a single layer in the air fryer basket – don’t overcrowd them or they’ll steam.
You’ll probably need to work in 2 batches depending on your basket size.
Air fry for ~7-8 minutes, flipping halfway through.
The shrimp are done when they’re pink and opaque throughout with an internal temp of ~145F.
Pull them out immediately and serve – they’ll get rubbery if you leave them sitting in the hot basket.
Air Fryer Shrimp
This is about as quick as dinner gets – seasoned shrimp ready in under 10 minutes. The air fryer gives you that slight crisp on the outside while keeping them tender inside.
