Ingredients
1 pound raw shrimp, peeled and deveined
1 medium red bell pepper, cut into 1-inch pieces
1 medium zucchini, sliced into 1/2-inch rounds
1 cup broccoli florets
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon smoked paprika
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley
Instructions
Preheat the air fryer to 400°F (200°C) for 5 minutes.
In a large bowl, combine the shrimp, red bell pepper pieces, zucchini slices, and broccoli florets.
Add olive oil, garlic powder, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper to the bowl. Toss everything together until the shrimp and vegetables are evenly coated.
Place the shrimp and vegetable mixture in the air fryer basket in a single layer. You may need to cook in batches to avoid overcrowding.
Cook in the air fryer at 400°F (200°C) for 10 to 12 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through cooking to ensure even crisping. Shrimp should be pink and opaque, and vegetables tender-crisp.
Remove the shrimp and veggies from the air fryer and transfer to a serving dish.
Drizzle lemon juice over the cooked shrimp and vegetables and sprinkle with chopped fresh parsley.
Serve immediately while hot.
