Easy Air Fryer Shrimp (Zero-Point Dinner)

👩‍🍳 Instructions

  1. Preheat air fryer:
    Set your air fryer to 400°F (200°C).
  2. Prepare shrimp:
    Pat shrimp dry with paper towels (this helps them crisp up).
    In a bowl, toss with paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, pepper, and a light mist of olive oil spray.
  3. Air fry:
    Arrange shrimp in a single layer in the air fryer basket (work in batches if needed).
    Cook for 4 minutes, flip, then cook another 3–4 minutes — until shrimp are pink, juicy, and slightly crisp around the edges.
  4. Finish:
    Squeeze fresh lemon juice over the top and sprinkle with chopped parsley. Serve hot! 🍋

💡 Serving Ideas (All Zero-Point Friendly!)

  • Serve over steamed veggies or cauliflower rice for a light meal.
  • Wrap in lettuce cups with salsa for a fun taco-style dinner.
  • Add to zucchini noodles or a crisp salad with light dressing.

💚 Ashley’s Tip:

If you like a bit of smoky flavor, add a pinch of smoked paprika or chili-lime seasoning before air frying.
These shrimp are also amazing chilled and added to salads the next day!
