Ingredients
Scale
- 1 lb large frozen shrimp, peeled and deveined
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/4 teaspoon paprika
Instructions
- Place the frozen shrimp in a single layer in the air fryer basket. Do not thaw them first.
- In a small bowl, mix the olive oil, garlic powder, salt, pepper, and paprika.
- Drizzle the oil mixture over the frozen shrimp and toss gently to coat them evenly.
- Arrange the shrimp in a single layer in the air fryer basket, ensuring they are not overlapping too much for even cooking.
- Air fry at 380°F (195°C) for 10 to 13 minutes.
- Shake the basket halfway through the cooking time (around 6 minutes).
- Cook until the shrimp are pink, opaque, and slightly crispy on the edges.
- Serve immediately for a quick dinner or appetizer.
Notes
- For extra flavor, add 1/2 teaspoon of dried parsley to the seasoning blend.
- If your shrimp are very large, you may need to add 1 to 2 minutes to the total cook time.
- This method works best for peeled and deveined shrimp without heavy breading.
