Sure! Here’s a simple recipe for air fryer shrimp:
Ingredients:
- 1 pound (450 grams) of large shrimp, peeled and deveined
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper

- Preheat your air fryer to 400°F (200°C) for about 5 minutes.
- In a bowl, combine the olive oil, paprika, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix well.
- Add the shrimp to the bowl and toss them in the seasoned oil mixture until they are evenly coated.

- Cook the shrimp in the air fryer for 5-6 minutes, flipping them halfway through the cooking time. The shrimp should be pink and opaque when they’re done. Be careful not to overcook them, as they can become rubbery.

- If desired, squeeze some fresh lemon juice over the shrimp and garnish with chopped parsley.
- Serve the air fryer shrimp as an appetizer, side dish, or as part of a main course. They pair well with cocktail sauce, garlic aioli, or a squeeze of fresh lemon juice.
