Description

A quick and delicious Garlic Parmesan Shrimp recipe that uses an air fryer to achieve perfectly cooked, flavorful shrimp coated in garlic, paprika, and parmesan cheese, garnished with fresh parsley and served with lemon wedges.

Ingredients

Shrimp Mixture

  • 1 pound large shrimp, peeled and deveined (raw shrimp recommended)
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper

Coating and Garnish

  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
  • Lemon wedges (for serving)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the Air Fryer: Preheat your air fryer to 400°F (200°C) for about 5 minutes to ensure it reaches the proper temperature for cooking the shrimp evenly.
  2. Prepare the Shrimp: In a mixing bowl, combine the peeled and deveined shrimp with olive oil, minced garlic, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Mix thoroughly so each shrimp is evenly coated with the seasoning.
  3. Add the Parmesan: Sprinkle the grated Parmesan cheese over the seasoned shrimp. Toss gently to ensure all shrimp are coated well with the cheese.
  4. Prepare the Air Fryer Basket: Lightly spray the air fryer basket with cooking spray to prevent the shrimp from sticking during cooking.
  5. Arrange Shrimp in Basket: Place the shrimp in a single layer inside the air fryer basket. If necessary, cook in batches depending on your air fryer size to avoid overcrowding.
  6. Cook the Shrimp: Air fry for 6-8 minutes at 400°F, shaking the basket halfway through to promote even cooking. The shrimp should turn golden and be fully cooked through.
  7. Serve: Carefully remove the shrimp from the air fryer and transfer to a serving platter. Garnish with fresh chopped parsley and serve alongside lemon wedges for squeezing over the shrimp.

Notes

  • Use raw shrimp for best results; pre-cooked shrimp does not work well when air fried.
  • Adjust the amount of garlic to your taste preference.
  • Do not overcrowd the air fryer basket to ensure even cooking.
  • Cooking times may vary slightly depending on the size of the shrimp and your air fryer model.
  • Serving with lemon wedges adds a fresh, zesty flavor that complements the garlic and parmesan.
