Ingredients

Directions

Special equipment:
a 6-quart air fryer
  1. Stir together the smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, 1/2 teaspoon salt and several grinds of pepper in a small bowl until well combined. Add the shrimp to a large bowl, then drizzle over the olive oil and sprinkle with the seasoning mix. Toss well until evenly coated.
  2. Place the shrimp in the air fryer basket in a single layer, then cook at 400 degrees F until just cooked through and golden brown at the edges, about 6 minutes (see Cook’s Note).
  3. Serve immediately with lemon wedges for squeezing if desired, or on top of salad, alongside rice or with any of your other favorite side dishes.

Cook’s Note

Settings may vary on your air fryer depending on the model. Please refer to the manufacturer’s guide.
