Sure! Here’s a recipe for air fryer shrimp fajitas along with some notes:
Ingredients:
- 1 pound large shrimp, peeled and deveined
- 2 bell peppers (any color), thinly sliced
- 1 onion, thinly sliced
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 tablespoon chili powder
- 1 teaspoon cumin
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- Juice of 1 lime
- Flour tortillas
- Optional toppings: sour cream, guacamole, salsa, chopped cilantro
Instructions:
- Preheat your air fryer to 400°F (200°C) for a few minutes.
- In a large bowl, combine the shrimp, bell peppers, onion, olive oil, chili powder, cumin, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, black pepper, and lime juice. Toss everything together until the shrimp and vegetables are evenly coated with the spices.
- Transfer the shrimp and vegetables to the air fryer basket. Spread them out in a single layer for even cooking.
- Cook in the air fryer for about 8-10 minutes, shaking the basket or flipping the shrimp halfway through the cooking time. The shrimp should be pink and cooked through, and the vegetables should be tender and slightly charred.
- While the shrimp and vegetables are cooking, warm up the flour tortillas either in the microwave or on a stovetop.
- Once the shrimp and vegetables are done, remove them from the air fryer.
- Assemble the fajitas by placing some of the shrimp and vegetables onto a tortilla. Add your desired toppings such as sour cream, guacamole, salsa, and cilantro.
- Fold the tortilla over the filling and serve.
Notes:
- You can adjust the spice level by adding more or less chili powder and cumin, depending on your preference.
- Feel free to add additional vegetables like zucchini, mushrooms, or corn to the mix for added flavor and variety.
- If you want a smokier flavor, you can use smoked paprika instead of regular paprika.
- Make sure not to overcrowd the air fryer basket, as this can prevent proper airflow and result in uneven cooking.
- If you don’t have an air fryer, you can also prepare this recipe by sautéing the shrimp and vegetables in a skillet over medium-high heat until cooked through.
Enjoy your delicious air fryer shrimp fajitas!
