Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 0.5 teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • 0.5 teaspoon salt
  • 0.25 teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 0.25 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 0.25 teaspoon onion powder
  • 2 cloves garlic minced or 0.25 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon olive oil
  • 1 pound medium shrimp peeled and deveined, tails removed

Method
 

Preparation Steps
  1. Whisk Italian seasoning, salt, pepper, paprika, and onion powder in a small bowl. Stir in garlic.
  2. Make sure shrimp are deveined and peeled and tails are removed. Toss with olive oil and seasoning.
  3. Place in a single layer in air fryer basket. Cook at 400°F for 4 minutes, then check. If they're not quite done, shake the basket and keep going. Shrimp will cook in between 4-8 minutes depending on size. Shrimp is one when it’s pink on both sides and forms a gentle “C” shape.
  4. Serve immediately. Store leftovers in refrigerator.

Notes

Store leftover cooked shrimp in an airtight container in the refrigerator. I think it tastes best within three days. You can freeze shrimp in a freezer bag for several months. It takes just a few minutes to cook shrimp in an air fryer basket!
