This Garlic Parmesan Shrimp recipe is a quick and flavorful dish that combines succulent shrimp with a savory blend of garlic, paprika, and Parmesan cheese. Cooked to perfection in an air fryer, these shrimp are crispy on the outside and tender inside, making for a perfect appetizer or main course served with fresh parsley and lemon wedges.

Ingredients

Scale

Shrimp and Marinade

  • 1 pound large shrimp, peeled and deveined (raw)
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper

Coating and Garnish

  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
  • Lemon wedges, for serving

Instructions

  1. Preheat Air Fryer: Preheat your air fryer to 400°F (200°C) for about 5 minutes to ensure it reaches the optimal temperature for cooking shrimp evenly.
  2. Mix Shrimp and Seasoning: In a mixing bowl, combine the peeled and deveined shrimp with olive oil, minced garlic, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Mix well until all shrimp are evenly coated with the seasoning mixture.
  3. Coat with Parmesan: Sprinkle the grated Parmesan cheese over the seasoned shrimp and toss gently to ensure each shrimp is thoroughly coated with the cheese.
  4. Prepare Air Fryer Basket: Lightly spray the air fryer basket with cooking spray to prevent the shrimp from sticking during cooking.
  5. Arrange Shrimp: Place the shrimp in a single layer in the air fryer basket. Depending on the size of your air fryer, you may need to cook the shrimp in batches to avoid overcrowding.
  6. Cook Shrimp: Cook in the air fryer for 6-8 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through to promote even cooking. The shrimp should be opaque, cooked through, and lightly golden on the surface.
  7. Serve: Carefully remove the shrimp from the air fryer and transfer them to a serving platter. Garnish with freshly chopped parsley and serve immediately with lemon wedges on the side for an extra burst of flavor.

Notes

  • Use raw shrimp for best results; pre-cooked shrimp will not crisp properly.
  • Adjust garlic quantity to your taste preference for a milder or stronger flavor.
  • To avoid overcrowding, cook shrimp in batches if your air fryer basket is small.
  • Serve immediately to enjoy the shrimp’s crispy texture.
