Instructions

  • Preheat the air fryer to 390°F for 5 minutes.
  • In a large bowl combine 1 pound raw shrimp (peeled and deveined), 1 tablespoon olive oil, 3 cloves garlic (minced), ½ teaspoon kosher salt, and ¼ teaspoon ground black pepper; toss until the shrimp are evenly coated.
  • Arrange the shrimp in a single layer in the air fryer basket, leaving space between pieces; do not overcrowd. If they won't fit in a single layer, plan to cook in batches.
  • Cook at 390°F for 8–9 minutes. Halfway through cooking (about 4 minutes), shake the basket or flip the shrimp to promote even browning.
  • Cook until the shrimp are curled, pink, and opaque throughout.
  • Remove the shrimp from the air fryer immediately to stop cooking. Repeat Steps 3–6 for any remaining shrimp if you cooked in batches.
