Main Ingredients
- 2 pounds large shrimp, peeled and deveined
- 1 Tablespoon olive oil
- 1 1/2 Tablespoon Old Bay seasoning
- 1 Tablespoon freshly squeezed lemon juice
- 1 Tablespoon fresh chopped parsley
Instructions
- Prepare the shrimp: In a large mixing bowl, combine the peeled and deveined shrimp with olive oil, Old Bay seasoning, and freshly squeezed lemon juice. Toss well to coat all shrimp evenly with the seasoning mixture.
- Air fry the shrimp: Arrange the seasoned shrimp in a single layer inside the air fryer basket. Set the air fryer temperature to 360ºF and cook the shrimp for 10 minutes, ensuring they are cooked through and slightly crisp on the edges.
- Serve and garnish: Remove the cooked shrimp from the air fryer basket and transfer to a serving plate. Sprinkle the shrimp with fresh chopped parsley for a burst of color and flavor. Serve immediately and enjoy!
Notes
- Store any leftovers in an airtight container and refrigerate for 1 to 2 days, or freeze for up to 3 months.
- To reheat, place shrimp back in the air fryer for 2 to 3 minutes until heated through to maintain crispiness.
- Ensure shrimp reaches an internal temperature of 145ºF for safe consumption.
- If fresh parsley is unavailable, dried parsley or cilantro can be substituted.
- Do not overcrowd the air fryer basket to allow even cooking; cook in batches if necessary.
