Get ready for a burst of flavor with these Air Fryer Shrimp seasoned with paprika and garlic! Crispy on the outside, juicy on the inside, these shrimp are cooked to perfection in the air fryer. With the smoky kick of paprika and the savory punch of garlic, this quick and easy dish is perfect as a main course, appetizer, or a tasty addition to salads and pastas.
In a mixing bowl, blend the avocado oil, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper together.
Toss the shrimp in the bowl with the oil and spices until they're thoroughly coated. Allow the shrimp to sit in the marinade for about 10 minutes.
Heat the air fryer to 400°F (200°C) and let it warm up for 3-5 minutes.
Arrange the marinated shrimp in a single layer in the air fryer basket, ensuring they do not overlap.
Air fry the shrimp at 400°F (200°C) for 5-6 minutes, giving the basket a shake midway through to promote uniform cooking.
Remove the shrimp from the air fryer once they turn pink and opaque.
Serve the shrimp immediately, accompanied by lemon wedges for adding a fresh squeeze of lemon, and sprinkle with chopped parsley for garnish if you like.
