Ingredients
- 1 pound medium shrimp 36/40 shrimp
- 1 Tablespoon olive oil
- 2 teaspoons paprika *see notes for other seasoning ideas
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon pepper
Instructions
- Preheat air fryer to 400 F for 5 minutes. Don't skip the preheating for this recipe!
- Peel and devein the shrimp if necessary. You can either leave the tails on or take them off, whichever you prefer.
- In a small bowl combine the paprika, onion powder, garlic powder, salt and pepper.
- Add the shrimp to a large bowl and drizzle with the olive oil. Then sprinkle the seasonings over the shrimp and toss everything so the shrimp is coated in seasoning.
- Add the shrimp to the preheated air fryer basket. Keep the shrimp in a single layer. Depending on the size of your air fryer basket you might need to make two batches.
- Cook at 400 F for 5 minutes, flipping the shrimp with a spatula halfway through.
- Serve with parsley, lemons and melted butter or add them to a salad or tacos.
Notes
- If using frozen shrimp thaw them before cooking them.
- I'd estimate that smaller shrimp will cook in 3 minutes and large shrimp in 7-8 minutes. But cooking times might vary based on the wattage of your air fryer.
- Other seasoning ideas: For each variation remove the paprika, onion powder and garlic powderfrom the recipe and replace it with the following:
- Mexican Taco Shrimp - 3 teaspoons of chili powder and 1 teaspoon cumin
- Cajun Shrimp - 3 teaspoons Cajun seasoning and 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- Italian Shrimp - 2 teaspoons Italian seasoning, 1 teaspoon paprika and 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- Old Bay Shrimp - 3 1/2 teaspoons Old Bay and 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- Lemon Pepper Shrimp - 2 teaspoons lemon pepper seasoning and 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- Caribbean Shrimp - 3 teaspoons Caribbean jerk seasoning and 1 teaspoon garlic powder
