Air Fryer Lemon Garlic Shrimp
Succulent shrimp coated in garlic butter and lemon juice, air-fried in a quick 8 minutes.
Instructions
1
Prep Shrimp
Pat shrimp dry with paper towels. Excess moisture prevents the shrimp from getting that nice outer sear.
2
Marinade
Combine melted butter, minced garlic, lemon juice, paprika, salt, and pepper. Toss shrimp until coated.
3
Arrange in Basket
Place the shrimp in a single layer in the air fryer basket.
4
Air Fry
Cook at 200Β°C (400Β°F) for 6-8 minutes, shaking the basket halfway.
Why Dry Shrimp Are Crucial
Shrimp cooks extremely fast. Patting them dry ensures the surface proteins caramelize immediately under the heat, locking the juices inside.
