Ingredients
Scale
- 1 lb large shrimp, peeled and deveined (thawed if frozen)
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
Instructions
- If using frozen shrimp, thaw them completely and pat them very dry with paper towels.
- In a medium bowl, toss the dry shrimp with olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper until evenly coated.
- 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 at 380°F (195°C) for 6 to 8 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through the cooking time.
- Remove the basket from the air fryer. Immediately sprinkle the grated Parmesan cheese over the hot shrimp and toss gently to coat.
- Serve immediately garnished with fresh parsley.
Notes
- For the crispiest results, ensure your shrimp are completely dry before seasoning and cooking.
- If you prefer a spicier flavor, add 1/4 teaspoon of red pepper flakes to the seasoning mix.
- This recipe works well for small batches, making it suitable for one or two servings.
