Ingredients
12 ounces frozen shrimp, peeled and deveined, tail on or off
1 tablespoon olive oil
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/4 teaspoon smoked paprika
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon black pepper
Lemon wedges, for serving
Instructions
Preheat the air fryer to 400°F (200°C) for 3 minutes.
In a medium bowl, toss the frozen shrimp with olive oil, garlic powder, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper until evenly coated.
Place the shrimp in a single layer in the air fryer basket. Avoid overcrowding for even cooking.
Air fry the shrimp at 400°F (200°C) for 8 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through cooking to ensure even crisping.
Check the shrimp for doneness; they should be opaque and firm. If needed, cook for an additional 1-2 minutes.
Remove the shrimp from the air fryer and serve immediately with lemon wedges.
