Delicious shrimp cooked fast and easy in an Air Fryer


  • Ingredients

    1 pound frozen Wild Caught Gulf shrimp (peeled and deveined, tails on or off)

    1 tablespoon olive oil

    1 teaspoon garlic powder

    1 teaspoon paprika (optional)

    Salt and pepper to taste

    Lemon wedges (for serving)

    Fresh parsley (for garnish, optional)

    Instructions

    Preheat the Air Fryer

    Preheat your air fryer to 400°F (200°C) for about 5 minutes.


    Prepare the Shrimp

    In a bowl, toss the frozen shrimp with olive oil, garlic powder, paprika (if using), salt, and pepper until evenly coated.


    Air Fry the Shrimp

    Place the seasoned shrimp in a single layer in the air fryer basket. You may need to cook in batches depending on the size of your air fryer.


    Cooking Time

    Cook for 8-10 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through the cooking time to ensure even cooking. The shrimp should be opaque and reach an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C).


    Serve

    Remove the shrimp from the air fryer and garnish with fresh parsley, if desired. Serve with lemon wedges on the side.


    Tips

    Do Not Thaw: There's no need to thaw the shrimp before cooking; they can go straight from the freezer to the air fryer.

    Adjust Seasoning: Feel free to adjust the seasonings according to your taste. You can add cayenne pepper for a spicy kick or Italian seasoning for a different flavor.

    Pairing Ideas: Serve the shrimp over rice, in tacos, or with a side of vegetables for a complete meal.

    Enjoy your crispy and flavorful air-fried shrimp!

  CAJUN FRIED CATFISH An old-fashioned favorite in the Deep South, Cajun Fried Catfish is breaded in spicy cornmeal and soaked in buttermilk. Cajun Fried Catfish is really the same as Southern Fried Catfish, just kicked up with some good ol Cajun spices for added flavor and heat.  I grew up eating a lot of fried catfish.  Before frying, the fish should be soaked in buttermilk for 30 minutes to an hour.    In some old recipes, plain milk is called for, but buttermilk's acid does the trick rather than plain milk.
