Perfect Air Fryer Shrimp
Description
Perfect Air Fryer Shrimp highlights jumbo peeled and deveined shrimp coated in a mix of extra-virgin olive oil and spices including garlic powder, sweet paprika, dried parsley, and kosher salt. The shrimp are arranged in a single layer in the air fryer basket and cooked at 400°F for 5 to 6 minutes, shaking halfway to ensure even cooking. This method crisps the shrimp's surface slightly while maintaining a tender interior.
The seasoning imparts a subtle savory and smoky flavor without overwhelming the natural sweetness of the shrimp. The air fryer cooks them efficiently without added oil beyond the initial coating, resulting in a lighter texture than traditional frying methods.
Serving the shrimp with lemon wedges provides a fresh, acidic contrast that brightens the dish. This preparation works well as an appetizer, a protein addition to salads, or a quick main course paired with rice or vegetables.
