Garlic Parmesan Air Fried Shrimp Recipe
Description
The shrimp are first combined with olive oil, fresh lemon juice, minced garlic, salt, and freshly cracked black pepper, then refrigerated for up to a few hours to allow the flavors to penetrate. Afterward, grated parmesan cheese is mixed in, which forms a coating on the shrimp during cooking. The shrimp are air fried at 350°F for about 10 minutes until they turn opaque white with pink highlights, indicating doneness.
This cooking method crisps the parmesan cheese slightly while keeping the shrimp juicy inside. The garlic and lemon give a bright, savory flavor, complemented by the richness of parmesan. This quick air frying provides a healthier alternative to traditional frying, preserving shrimp texture without excess oil.
The shrimp are best served immediately while hot and crisp, making them suitable as appetizers, side dishes, or a protein addition to salads or pasta. The recipe is flexible for peeled shrimp with or without tails and easily adapted for varying spice preferences.
