Ingredients
Method
Preparation
- Pat shrimp dry with paper towels so seasoning sticks and shrimp sear instead of steam.
- Toss sliced bell peppers, zucchini, and red onion with half the oil and a pinch of salt and pepper.
- Toss shrimp with remaining oil and the chipotle seasoning; adjust seasoning to your heat preference.
Cooking
- Preheat your air fryer to 400°F (200°C) for 3 minutes.
- Place the veggies in a single layer in the air-fryer basket. Cook at 400°F for 6–7 minutes, shaking once.
- Add seasoned shrimp in a single layer over the veggies (don’t overcrowd). Cook for 4–6 more minutes until shrimp are opaque, curl into a firm 'C' (not tight 'O'), and reach 145°F internal temperature.
- If shrimp finish before veggies, remove shrimp to rest for a minute — carryover heat will finish them without drying.
Serving
- Transfer shrimp and veggies to a platter. Taste and finish with a sprinkle of flaky salt, a squeeze of lime, or chopped fresh parsley/cilantro.

Notes
Swap chipotle seasoning for smoked paprika + cayenne if you don’t have a premixed blend. Use frozen shrimp (thawed completely and patted dry) if fresh isn’t available. Substitute avocado oil for a higher smoke point if you like.
