Notes:

• You can use either fresh or frozen shrimp for this recipe. If using frozen shrimp, make sure to thaw them completely before seasoning and cooking.
• Adjust the seasoning according to your taste preferences. You can add more or less garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper as desired.
• Cooking times may vary depending on the size of the shrimp and the specific model of your air fryer. Keep an eye on the shrimp as they cook to prevent overcooking or undercooking.
• Serve the air fryer shrimp with your favorite dipping sauce, such as cocktail sauce, tartar sauce, or aioli.
• Feel free to add other seasonings or herbs to the shrimp, such as cayenne pepper, Italian seasoning, or chopped fresh parsley, to enhance the flavor according to your liking.
• Remember to preheat your air fryer before cooking the shrimp. Preheating ensures even cooking and helps achieve a crispy exterior on the shrimp.
• Leftover cooked shrimp can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Reheat them in the air fryer or enjoy them cold in salads or sandwiches.
