Ingredients
Scale
- 1 lb large shrimp, peeled and deveined
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/4 teaspoon paprika
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
Instructions
- Pat the shrimp dry with paper towels. This helps them crisp up.
- In a medium bowl, combine the olive oil, minced garlic, salt, pepper, and paprika.
- Add the shrimp to the bowl and toss until they are evenly coated in the garlic oil mixture.
- Preheat your air fryer to 380°F (195°C) for 3 minutes.
- Place the seasoned shrimp in a single layer in the air fryer basket. Do not overcrowd the basket; cook in batches if necessary.
- Air fry for 5 minutes.
- Carefully open the air fryer basket and sprinkle the grated Parmesan cheese evenly over the shrimp.
- Return the basket to the air fryer and cook for another 2 to 4 minutes, or until the shrimp are pink and cooked through and the cheese is melted and slightly golden.
- Remove from the air fryer, garnish with fresh parsley, and serve immediately.
Notes
- For extra flavor, you can add 1/2 teaspoon of garlic powder to the initial seasoning mix.
- If you prefer a lower carb option, serve this shrimp over zucchini noodles or cauliflower rice.
- Do not overcook the shrimp; they cook very fast in the air fryer.
