Instructions
- Start by rinsing the raw shrimp under cold water. Pat them dry with a paper towel to remove excess moisture.
- In a mixing bowl, combine the avocado oil, minced garlic, ground paprika, sea salt, and fresh lemon juice. Mix well until thoroughly combined.
- Add the cleaned shrimp to the bowl with the marinade. Toss gently to ensure each shrimp is evenly coated. Let them marinate for about 10 minutes.
- Preheat your air fryer to 400°F (200°C) for about 5 minutes.
- Place the marinated shrimp in the air fryer basket in a single layer. Air fry for 6-8 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through.
- The shrimp are done when they turn pink and opaque. If they need more time, continue to air fry in one-minute increments until fully cooked.
- Once cooked, remove the shrimp from the air fryer and serve them immediately, garnished with lemon wedges and fresh herbs if desired.

- Freeze shrimp in a single layer on a baking sheet before transferring to a freezer bag for up to 3 months.
- Reheat in the air fryer at 350°F (175°C) for a few minutes to retain texture.
