Ingredient Notes:

Shrimp – We started with precooked shrimp with the tails on. You can make this with the tails off, if you prefer. Raw shrimp is also a great option and we included notes on that in the recipe card.

Seasoning– Lime juice, olive oil, minced garlic, chili powder, onion powder, cumin, and salt are needed for this explosion of flavor!

How to Make Chili Lime Shrimp in an Air Fryer:

Raw shrimp in a bowl and in an air fryer basket.

Marinade the shrimp– Add the shrimp to a large bowl. Next start adding the lime juice, olive oil, garlic, chili powder, onion powder, cumin, and salt. Toss or stir this to fully coat the shrimp. Cover the bowl and let sit in your fridge for an hour.

Air fry the shrimp – Place the shrimp in a single layer in your air fryer basket, cook in batches if needed. Air fry for 7 minutes at 400 degrees F.
