Ingredients

Scale

Shrimp Mixture

  • 1 lb shrimp, peeled and deveined
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 2 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1/2 tsp paprika
  • Salt and pepper, to taste

Topping

  • 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • Lemon wedges, for serving

Instructions

  1. Preheat the Air Fryer: Set your air fryer to 400°F (200°C) and allow it to preheat for a few minutes to ensure even cooking.
  2. Prepare the Shrimp: In a bowl, toss the peeled and deveined shrimp with olive oil, minced garlic, paprika, salt, and pepper until they are evenly coated with the seasoning. This helps infuse the shrimp with bold flavors.
  3. Arrange Shrimp in Basket: Place the shrimp in a single layer in the air fryer basket to promote uniform cooking and ensure the shrimp crisp up nicely.
  4. Air Fry the Shrimp: Cook the shrimp for 5 to 7 minutes, shaking the basket intermittently to turn the shrimp and cook them evenly. The shrimp should turn opaque and slightly golden when done.
  5. Add Parmesan and Serve: Once cooked, transfer the shrimp to a serving dish and immediately sprinkle the grated Parmesan cheese over the hot shrimp so it slightly melts. Serve warm with lemon wedges to add a fresh citrus twist.

Notes

  • Make sure shrimp are fully thawed if using frozen for best results.
  • You can adjust garlic and paprika amounts based on your spice preference.
  • Do not overcrowd the air fryer basket to ensure even cooking.
  • Serve with crusty bread or over pasta for a complete meal.
  • Use freshly grated Parmesan for better flavor and texture.
