  • 3 tablespoon melted butter
  • 2 tsp lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • ½ to 1 teaspoon ground black pepper
  • ½ teaspoon salt

Instructions
 

  • Devein and peel the shrimps if they aren't already and rinse the shrimps. Pat them dry using paper towels. Preheat the Air fryer at 400F for 3 minutes.

  • Place the marinated shrimp in the air fryer basket in a single layer.
  • Cook for 8 to 10 minutes or until the shrimps are pink and plump. Flipping the shrimp is not needed but you can if you want to cook the other side too. Flip it and cook for another minute or two.

Notes

  • Storage - store the cooked shrimp in an air tight container in the fridge for 3 days. Reheat in the Air fryer for 2 to 3 minutes or until warm.
