A quick and healthy air fryer recipe featuring succulent shrimp and crisp vegetables, seasoned with garlic and lemon for a flavorful meal ready in under 30 minutes.
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
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
1 teaspoon lemon zest
1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley
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 with the seasoning.
Place the shrimp and vegetable mixture in the air fryer basket in a single layer. You may need to cook in batches depending on the size of your air fryer.
Cook for 6 minutes, then shake the basket or stir the contents gently to ensure even cooking.
Continue cooking for an additional 6 minutes or until the shrimp are pink and opaque and the vegetables are tender-crisp.
Transfer the shrimp and vegetables to a serving dish. Drizzle with fresh lemon juice and sprinkle with lemon zest and chopped parsley.
Serve immediately.
