Ingredients
1 pound large shrimp, peeled and deveined
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 teaspoon smoked paprika
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon onion powder
1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1/2 teaspoon chili powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1 tablespoon lemon juice
Instructions
Preheat the air fryer to 400°F (200°C) for 5 minutes.
In a large bowl, combine olive oil, smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, cayenne pepper, chili powder, salt, and black pepper.
Add the shrimp to the bowl and toss thoroughly to coat all shrimp evenly with the spice mixture.
Place the shrimp in a single layer in the air fryer basket. Do not overcrowd; cook in batches if necessary.
Cook the shrimp in the air fryer at 400°F (200°C) for 7 to 8 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through cooking to ensure even crisping.
Remove the shrimp from the air fryer and immediately drizzle with lemon juice. Toss gently to combine.
Serve hot as an appetizer or over rice or salad as a main dish.
