\n2 tbsp avocado oil
\n1 large garlic clove, minced
\n1 tsp Cajun seasoning
\n\u00bd tsp freshly ground black pepper
\n\u00bc tsp onion powder<\/p>\n
\nIn a large bowl, toss shrimp with avocado oil, garlic, Cajun seasoning, pepper, and onion powder.
\nPlace shrimp in air fryer basket in a single layer. Cook the shrimp at 400\u00b0F (200\u00b0C) for 4 minutes.
\nFlip the shrimp and continue to cook for 2 more minutes, until pink and curled when cooked.
\nIf the shrimp are not quite cooked through, cook for 1 to 2 minutes more, until done. Do not overcook the shrimp or it will become dry and rubbery.<\/p>\n
\nReheat<\/strong>: Reheat your leftover shrimp in the air fryer for about 2 minutes at 400\u00b0F (200\u00b0C)! Be careful not to reheat them for too long or they will dry out and become rubbery.
\nFreezing<\/strong>: You can also freeze leftover shrimp in an airtight container for up to 3 months. To reheat, simply place frozen shrimp in the air fryer at 400\u00b0F for about 3 minutes.
\nAdjust cooking time<\/strong>: Depending on the size of your shrimp, you may need to adjust the cooking time. We used large shrimp and they cooked in 6 minutes. Smaller shrimp should be checked after 5 minutes, and jumbo shrimp will likely need 7 to 8 minutes.
\nDon\u2019t overcrowd<\/strong>: If the basket is too full, the shrimp won\u2019t cook evenly. Arrange the shrimp in a single layer, making sure they don\u2019t touch or overlap.
\nSpicy<\/strong>: Add more heat with a tablespoon of your favorite hot sauce, like sriracha. You can also add red pepper flakes or a pinch of cayenne pepper.
\nMarinate<\/strong>: If you have time, marinate the shrimp up to 2 days in advance in the oil and seasonings. Store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator until ready to cook.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
