Equipment

1 Air fryer

Ingredients

1 lb. Jumbo Shrimp or about 500 gm.
2 tbsp. Old Bay Seasoning
1 tbsp. olive oil
1 tsp. Lemon juice

Instructions

The recipe is as easy as tossing the shrimp in the seasonings and oil and air frying.
Use peeled and deveined shrimp. I leave the tails on but you can just leave them off.
Add lemon juice to Old Bay seasoning along with olive oil and mix together.
Toss your shrimp in this seasoning mix.
I have not preheated the air fryer for this recipe.
Just lay your shrimp in one layer in the air fryer basket. Air fry at 200C or 390F from 4-6 minutes depending upon the size of your shrimp.
We do not want the shrimp to overcook as its texture gets terrible.
Take them out and serve hot.
Your air fryer shrimp with Old Bay seasoning is ready to serve. Such an easy and tasty recipe. Give it a try. You will love it.

Notes

Do not overcrowd the basket while cooking the shrimp. That way they cook evenly.

Check the shrimp regularly so as not to overcook them.

You can easily customise the seasoning as per your taste. Add pepper, chilli flakes, garlic for enhanced flavour. You can also use other seasoning mixes like Cajun seasoning, Jamaican jerk seasoning etc.

Make it a bit more luxurious by drizzling with some melted butter or with a burnt butter sauce while serving.
