- Weight Watchers Points
- There are 0 (that's right, zero!) Freestyle Points in a serving of Cilantro Lime Air Fryer Shrimp Skewers.
- You can vary the spices and herbs to suit your taste. If following a particular eating program, make sure the spices and seasonings are compliant and program-approved.
- This marinade also works well on fish, chicken and pork.
- Make sure the skewers will fit inside your air fryer. You can buy smaller skewers, but if you already have longer skewers on hand do what I did and cut them down to fit in the air fryer basket (I cut mine to 6.5 inches).
- Do a quick baste with the marinade just before adding the skewers to the air fryer.
- Air fryer temperatures can vary depending on the make and model, so it is important to always check your food for doneness and adjust the cook time as needed.
