Ingredients
- 1 pound large shrimp peeled and deveined
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 lemon
- 1 teaspoon lemon pepper seasoning
- ½ teaspoon smoked paprika
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- Parsley for garnish
Instructions
- Preheat the air fryer to 400 degrees for 2-3 minutes.
- While the air fryer preheats, add the olive oil, juice from ½ the lemon, lemon pepper, paprika, and garlic powder to a mixing bowl. Stir to combine.
- Add the shrimp to the seasoning mixture and toss gently to coat the shrimp.
- Arrange the shrimp in a single layer in an air fryer basket brushed with olive oil or sprayed with cooking spray.
- Air fry the shrimp for 4-5 minutes, shaking gently halfway through the cooking time. The shrimp should turn pink and opaque when cooked through.
- Once the shrimp is cooked, transfer them to a serving dish and squeeze the remaining half of lemon (as much as you’d like) over the shrimp.
- Garnish with parsley and serve immediately.
Notes
We recommend starting with thawed shrimp so that the seasoning mixture will cling to it better. If starting with frozen, add a minute or two to the cook time and season with an extra dash of lemon pepper after cooking, if needed.
