Ingredients
Scale
The key to this dish lies in selecting the right ingredients that pack a punch without overwhelming your senses. Here’s what you’ll need:
- 1 pound large shrimp, peeled and deveined
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1/2 cup grated parmesan cheese
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley for garnish
If you’re like me and often find yourself improvising, feel free to swap out fresh garlic for garlic powder in a pinch or use pre-grated parmesan to save time. The beauty of home cooking is making it work with what you have.
Instructions
- Preheat your air fryer to 400°F while you prep the shrimp.
- In a large bowl, combine the shrimp, olive oil, minced garlic, parmesan cheese, paprika, salt, and pepper. Toss until the shrimp are well-coated.
- Arrange the shrimp in a single layer in the air fryer basket. Be careful not to overcrowd them to ensure they cook evenly.
- Air fry the shrimp for 5-7 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through until they are golden and cooked through.
- Garnish with fresh parsley before serving. Enjoy immediately for the best taste and texture.
