Sure! Here’s a recipe for Air Fryer Colossal Garlic and Lemon Shrimp:
Ingredients:
- 1 pound colossal shrimp, peeled and deveined
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon paprika
- 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)
- Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
- Lemon wedges (for serving)
Instructions:
- Preheat your air fryer to 400°F (200°C).
- In a large bowl, combine the minced garlic, lemon juice, olive oil, salt, black pepper, paprika, and red pepper flakes (if using). Mix well to create a marinade.
- Add the peeled and deveined colossal shrimp to the bowl and toss them in the marinade, making sure they are coated evenly. Let the shrimp marinate for about 15-20 minutes to allow the flavors to infuse.
- Once the shrimp have marinated, place them in a single layer in the air fryer basket. Depending on the size of your air fryer, you may need to cook them in batches.

- Once the shrimp are cooked, remove them from the air fryer and garnish with freshly chopped parsley.
- Serve the colossal garlic and lemon shrimp hot with lemon wedges on the side for an extra burst of citrus flavor. They can be enjoyed as an appetizer, served over rice or pasta, or as a main dish with your favorite sides.
