Air Fryer Cajun Shrimp
Ingredients
- 1 pound large shrimp, peeled and deveined
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon Cajun seasoning blend (such as Tony Chachere's®)
- 0.5 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoon onion powder
- 0.25 teaspoon cayenne pepper
- 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley
- 1 medium lemon, cut into wedges
Steps
- Preheat the air fryer to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
- Rinse shrimp under cold running water, dry with paper towels, and transfer to a large bowl. Add olive oil, garlic, Cajun seasoning, pepper, onion powder, and cayenne, and toss to completely coat. Place shrimp in a single layer in the air fryer basket.
- Cook in the air fryer for 4 minutes. Flip the shrimp and cook until the shrimp are bright pink on the outside and the meat is opaque, about 2 more minutes. Depending on the size of your air fryer, you may have to cook the shrimp in 2 batches.
- Remove shrimp from the air fryer and serve immediately garnished with parsley and lemon wedges.
