Ingredients

Scale

Shrimp Marinade

  • 1 pound large shrimp, peeled and deveined
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper

Coating & Garnish

  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
  • lemon wedges, for serving

Instructions

  1. Preheat Air Fryer: Preheat your air fryer to 400°F (200°C) for about 5 minutes to ensure it reaches the right cooking temperature for crispy shrimp.
  2. Prepare Shrimp Mixture: In a mixing bowl, combine the peeled and deveined shrimp with olive oil, minced garlic, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Mix thoroughly until all the shrimp are evenly coated with the seasoning.
  3. Add Parmesan Cheese: Sprinkle grated Parmesan cheese over the shrimp and gently toss to thoroughly coat each piece, which will add a savory and crisp crust.
  4. Prepare Air Fryer Basket: Lightly spray the air fryer basket with cooking spray to prevent shrimp from sticking during cooking.
  5. Arrange Shrimp: Place the shrimp in a single layer inside the air fryer basket. Cook in batches if necessary to avoid overcrowding and ensure even cooking.
  6. Cook Shrimp: Air fry the shrimp for 6-8 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through to promote even crisping. The shrimp should be opaque, cooked through, and golden in color.
  7. Serve: Carefully remove the shrimp and transfer them to a serving platter. Garnish with fresh chopped parsley and serve immediately with lemon wedges on the side for squeezing over.

Notes

  • Use raw shrimp for best results; pre-cooked shrimp can become rubbery.
  • Adjust garlic amounts to suit your taste preference.
  • Do not overcrowd the air fryer basket to ensure even cooking.
  • Cooking times may vary depending on the size and model of your air fryer.
  • For extra crispiness, you can briefly broil the shrimp in the oven after air frying.
