Ingredients

• 1 pound Jumbo Shrimp (peeled, deveined, thawed)
• 2 tablespoons Extra Virgin Olive Oil (for coating shrimp)
• 2 tablespoons Lemon Juice (freshly squeezed (about ½ lemon))
• 1 tablespoon Smoked Paprika
• 1 teaspoon Garlic Powder
• 1 teaspoon Onion Powder
• 1 teaspoon Dried Oregano
• 1 teaspoon Dried Basil
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black Pepper
• 0.25 teaspoon Cayenne Pepper

Instructions

1. Mix Dry Seasonings

   In a small bowl combine smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, dried oregano, dried basil, salt, black pepper, and cayenne pepper. Stir until evenly mixed.

   Time: PT2M

2. Coat Shrimp

   Place the thawed shrimp in a mixing bowl. Drizzle with olive oil and lemon juice, then sprinkle the dry seasoning blend over the shrimp. Toss with tongs until every piece is fully coated.

   Time: PT5M

3. Preheat Air Fryer

   Set the air fryer to its highest setting, ideally 400°F. If your model tops out at 390°F, use that temperature and let it run for a few minutes to fully preheat.

   Time: PT5M

   Temperature: 400°F

4. Arrange Shrimp in Basket

   Lay the seasoned shrimp in a single layer in the air fryer basket. If you prefer, thread them onto skewers first, but make sure they do not fall through the grates and are evenly spaced.

   Time: PT1M

5. Cook Shrimp

   Cook the shrimp for 5–7 minutes, shaking the basket or flipping halfway if you like. The shrimp are done when they turn opaque pink and are no longer translucent.

   Time: PT7M

   Temperature: 400°F

6. Serve

   Remove the shrimp from the air fryer, transfer to a serving plate, and enjoy immediately. They pair well with pasta, tacos, salads, or as a standalone appetizer.
