Ingredients

Instructions

  • Take your peeled and deveined shrimp and pat them dry with a paper towel.
  • Now place the shrimp in a large bowl along with the pressed garlic, salt, pepper, Cajun seasoning, and olive oil.
  • Toss everything together using tongs. From here you can cover it with plastic wrap and let the shrimp marinate in the refrigerator for about one hour or you can cook them right away.
  • To cook the shrimp in the air fryer, set your basket air fryer on the shrimp setting or set the temperature to 350 degrees Fahrenheit and cook for 8-10 minutes flipping them halfway through.

Notes

Can I use frozen shrimp?
Yes, you can. With an air fryer, you can actually put the frozen shrimp right into the basket and cook for just a few extra minutes. The quickly circulating hot air in the fryer makes it possible to easily thaw and cook the frozen shrimp to perfection.
