Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1 pound raw shrimp, peeled and de-veined
  • Vegetable oil or spray, to coat shrimp
  • 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
  • Salt, to taste
  • Black pepper, to taste
  • Lemon wedges
  • Minced parsley
  • Chili flakes (optional)

Method
 

  1. In a bowl, combine shrimp, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Toss to coat evenly. Add shrimp to the air fryer basket in a single layer.
  2. Air fry at 400°F (200°C) for 8-14 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through.
  3. Once cooked, transfer shrimp to a bowl.
  4. Squeeze fresh lemon juice over the shrimp.
  5. Sprinkle with minced parsley and/or chili flakes, if desired.
  6. Serve hot immediately.

Notes

- Ensure shrimp are in a single layer in the air fryer for even cooking.
- Adjust cooking time based on shrimp size; smaller shrimp cook faster.
- For extra zest, add a pinch of lemon zest along with the juice.
- Serve immediately for the best texture and flavor.
