Air Fryer Recipes

Shrimp cook really fast and are on the table in less than 15 minutes. They have just a little kick, so it's perfect for eating by itself, served over rice, or added to tacos, a salad, fajitas, pastas, or incorporated into a sheet pan dinner. The spiciness can be controlled by the amount of Cajun seasoning and cayenne you use.

Ingredients
  • 1 pound large shrimp, peeled and deveined
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon Cajun seasoning blend (such as Tony Chachere's®)
  • ½ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  • ¼ teaspoon onion powder
  • ¼ teaspoon cayenne pepper
  • 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley (Optional)
  • 1 medium lemon, cut into wedges
Step By Step Method
  1. Preheat the air fryer to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
  2. Rinse shrimp under cold running water, dry with paper towels, and transfer to a large bowl. Add olive oil, garlic, Cajun seasoning, pepper, onion powder, and cayenne, and toss to completely coat. Place shrimp in a single layer in the air fryer basket.
  3. Cook in the air fryer for 4 minutes. Flip the shrimp and cook until the shrimp are bright pink on the outside and the meat is opaque, about 2 more minutes. Depending on the size of your air fryer, you may have to cook the shrimp in 2 batches.
  4. Remove shrimp from the air fryer and serve immediately garnished with parsley and lemon wedges.
