Instructions

  1. Prep the shrimp: Pat shrimp dry with paper towels. Place in a bowl.
  2. Season: Drizzle with olive oil, then add garlic, paprika, oregano, cayenne, salt, and pepper. Toss to coat evenly.
  3. Preheat air fryer to 400Β°F (200Β°C).
  4. Cook: Place shrimp in a single layer in the air fryer basket. Cook for 6–8 minutes, shaking the basket halfway, until shrimp are pink and opaque.
  5. Finish: Drizzle with lemon juice and toss gently.
  6. Serve hot with lemon wedges. Great over rice, salad, or as a standalone dish!

Tip: Don’t overcrowd the basket β€” cook in batches if needed to ensure even cooking and a nice sear!
