  • Total Time: 16 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings

Ingredients

– 1 lb frozen shrimp, tail on, peeled and deveined

– As needed avocado oil spray or preferred cooking oil for crispiness

– ΒΌ teaspoon salt

– Β½ teaspoon garlic powder

– Β½ teaspoon paprika

– Β½ teaspoon chili powder

– ΒΌ teaspoon cumin

– ΒΌ teaspoon oregano

– White rice

– Black beans

– Avocado

– Salsa

– Sour cream

– Cilantro

Instructions

1-First Step: Prepare Your Ingredients Start by placing 1 lb of frozen shrimp in a single layer in the air fryer basket. This ensures even cooking and helps achieve that perfect crispiness without any overlap.

2-Second Step: Season the Shrimp Evenly sprinkle the seasonings over the shrimp: ΒΌ teaspoon salt, Β½ teaspoon garlic powder, Β½ teaspoon paprika, Β½ teaspoon chili powder, ΒΌ teaspoon cumin, and ΒΌ teaspoon oregano. This mix adds a burst of flavor that makes the dish irresistible!

3-Third Step: Add Oil Lightly spray the shrimp with avocado oil spray or your preferred cooking oil. This step promotes browning and keeps the shrimp from sticking, but don’t overdo it for a healthier result.

4-Fourth Step: Cook in the Air Fryer Air fry at 400 degrees Fahrenheit for 10-11 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through for even cooking. The shrimp should turn pink, crispy, and opaque when done, which typically takes about 10 minutes for this size.

5-Fifth Step: Remove and Serve Remove the shrimp carefully, shaking the basket gently to drain excess oil. Serve it on its own or in taco bowls with optional ingredients like white rice, black beans, avocado, salsa, sour cream, cilantro, and jalapenos for a complete meal!
