Ingredients:
- 1 pound of large shrimp, peeled and deveined
- 1-2 tablespoons of olive oil or cooking spray
- Seasonings (e.g., salt, pepper, paprika, garlic powder, cayenne pepper, or your preferred seasoning blend)
Instructions:
- Preheat your air fryer to 375°F (190°C).
- In a bowl, toss the shrimp with olive oil or lightly spray them with cooking spray. This will help the seasoning adhere and promote crisping.
- Season the shrimp with your preferred seasonings. You can get creative with your seasonings, but a simple mix of salt, pepper, and garlic powder is always a good starting point. Adjust the seasonings to your taste.
- Place the seasoned shrimp in the air fryer basket in a single layer, making sure they’re not touching each other to allow for even cooking.
- Cook the shrimp in the preheated air fryer for 8-10 minutes, depending on the size of the shrimp and the specific model of your air fryer. Check on them around the 6-minute mark and shake the basket to ensure even cooking.
- The shrimp are done when they turn pink and opaque, and their exteriors become golden brown and crispy.
- Serve your air-fried shrimp hot with your favorite dipping sauce, such as cocktail sauce, tartar sauce, or a homemade aioli…
