Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 1 pound Frozen raw shrimp (tail-off) Do not thaw before cooking.
  • 1 tablespoon Olive oil For tossing.
  • 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon Salt Adjust to taste.
  • 1 teaspoon Black pepper Adjust to taste.
  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning Adjust to taste.
  • 1 teaspoon Old Bay seasoning Adjust to taste.
  • 1/4 cup Grated Parmesan cheese For added flavor.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Take your frozen raw shrimp straight from the freezer (no thawing needed) and toss them in a light coating of olive oil.
  2. Sprinkle on garlic powder, salt, black pepper, Italian seasoning, Old Bay, and a sprinkle of Parmesan cheese.
Cooking
  1. Preheat the air fryer to 400°F (200°C).
  2. Place the shrimp in the air fryer basket in a single layer (no overcrowding).
  3. For raw frozen shrimp, cook for 10 minutes. If using pre-cooked frozen shrimp, reduce the time to 5 minutes.
  4. Shake the basket halfway through to ensure even crispiness.
  5. When they are done, the shrimp should be golden and cooked through.
Serving
  1. Enjoy with a tasty dipping sauce like cocktail sauce, garlic aioli, or lemon wedges.

Notes

Make sure to not overcrowd the air fryer basket for even cooking. Adjust the seasoning to match your personal preferences or try different spices! Use fresh shrimp if you prefer, but remember to adjust cooking times accordingly. Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 2 to 3 days.
