Description
A quick and flavorful air fryer recipe featuring succulent shrimp and vibrant bell peppers, seasoned with garlic and smoked paprika for a deliciously smoky and spicy taste.
Ingredients
1 pound large shrimp, peeled and deveined
2 medium red bell peppers, sliced into strips
2 medium yellow bell peppers, sliced into strips
3 tablespoons olive oil
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 teaspoon smoked paprika
1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
Instructions
Preheat the air fryer to 400°F (200°C) for 5 minutes.
In a large bowl, combine the shrimp, sliced red and yellow bell peppers, olive oil, minced garlic, smoked paprika, black pepper, salt, and crushed red pepper flakes. Toss well to coat all ingredients evenly.
Transfer the shrimp and pepper mixture to the air fryer basket in a single layer. Avoid overcrowding to ensure even cooking.
Cook for 8 to 10 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through cooking to promote even browning, until the shrimp are pink and opaque and the peppers are tender.
Remove the shrimp and peppers from the air fryer and transfer to a serving dish.
Drizzle the fresh lemon juice over the shrimp and peppers and sprinkle with chopped fresh parsley.
Serve immediately.
