Air Fryer Shrimp
Description
The Air Fryer Shrimp recipe starts by patting peeled and deveined shrimp dry, then tossing them with olive oil and a spice blend featuring garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, Italian seasoning, salt, and black pepper. Cooking in a single layer in the air fryer at 400°F for about 8 minutes yields shrimp that are cooked through and slightly crisp on the outside. The method emphasizes visual cues—shrimp turning pink and curling—to assess doneness.
Once cooked, the shrimp are garnished with chopped parsley and served immediately with lemon wedges, which add brightness and acidity complementing the smoky, herbaceous seasoning.
The recipe includes useful tips for storage and reheating: storing leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to three days, and reheating gently in the air fryer or microwave in short intervals to avoid drying out. It also suggests cooking shrimp in batches if needed for even heat distribution.
