Garlic Shrimp Air Fry (Print Version)

# Ingredients:

→ Seafood

01 - 1 pound big shrimp, shells off, cleaned up, and dried well for extra crispiness

→ Seasonings & Aromatics

02 - 2 tablespoons of olive oil, for a beautiful golden touch

03 - 1 teaspoon of garlic powder, for added boost

04 - 1/2 teaspoon of onion powder, to give it a savory kick

05 - Salt and freshly cracked black pepper, adjusted to your liking

06 - 3 cloves of garlic, finely chopped

07 - 1 teaspoon of smoked paprika, to bring in a gentle smoky vibe

→ For Serving

08 - Chopped parsley for some fresh green contrast

09 - Sliced lemon wedges for a final refreshing touch

# Instructions:

01 - First step: heat up your air fryer to a toasty 400°F (200°C). Let it go for about 5 minutes so your shrimp can cook beautifully crisp on the outside.

02 - Grab a big bowl and stir olive oil with smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, finely chopped garlic, salt, and pepper. Toss your shrimp into this mix, making sure every piece is smothered in the flavorful coating.

03 - Lay your shrimp out in the fryer basket—don’t stack them up, give them room to crisp up! Fry for 8-10 minutes. Halfway through, give the basket a gentle shake so the heat hits evenly.

04 - Pop the shrimp onto a plate, drizzle them with zesty lemon juice, and sprinkle parsley to finish. They’re best enjoyed hot and right away!

# Notes:

01 - This method makes shrimp crisp on the outside yet soft and juicy inside.

02 - For even cooking, pick shrimp that are roughly the same size.
