Ingredients
Scale
- 1 pound Large Shrimp (raw, peeled, and deveined)
- 2 tablespoons Olive Oil (high-quality)
- 3 cloves Garlic (fresh minced)
- 1 teaspoon Paprika (adjust based on spice preference)
- 1 teaspoon Salt (to taste)
- 1 teaspoon Black Pepper (freshly ground)
- 1/2 cup Grated Parmesan Cheese (freshly grated)
- 2 tablespoons Fresh Parsley (for garnish)
- Lemon Wedges (for squeezing over shrimp)
Instructions
- Prep the Shrimp: Start by placing the peeled and deveined shrimp in a mixing bowl.
- Make the Marinade: In the same bowl, add olive oil, minced garlic, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Toss to combine until the shrimp are well-coated.
- Add Parmesan: Gently fold in the grated Parmesan cheese until evenly distributed.
- Preheat the Air Fryer: Preheat your air fryer to 375°F (190°C) for about 5 minutes.
- Cook the Shrimp: Arrange the shrimp in a single layer in the air fryer basket. Cook for about 8-10 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through.
- Garnish and Serve: Remove the shrimp and garnish with freshly chopped parsley and lemon wedges before serving.
Notes
For extra heat, substitute paprika with cayenne; use vegan parmesan for a dairy-free version. Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to two days.
