  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon paprika

Preparation
  1. Start with your shrimp peeled and deveined. If they're frozen, ensure they are completely thawed before cooking.
  2. In a mixing bowl, combine the olive oil, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper. Toss in the shrimp until well-coated.
Cooking
  1. Set your air fryer to 400°F (200°C) and preheat for about 5 minutes.
  2. Place the seasoned shrimp in a single layer in the air fryer basket, avoiding overcrowding.
  3. Air fry the shrimp for 6-8 minutes, until they turn opaque and reach an internal temperature of 120°F (49°C).
  4. Once cooked, carefully remove the shrimp and serve immediately with lemon wedges on the side.

Notes

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for 1-2 days. Reheat in the air fryer to retain crispiness.
