Cut all vegetables into similar-sized pieces (about 1 inch) so they cook evenly. Pat shrimp dry with paper towels — dry shrimp = crispy shrimp.
Toss vegetables with 1 tbsp olive oil, half the spices, salt and pepper. In a separate bowl, toss shrimp with remaining oil and spices.
Air fry vegetables at 400°F for 5 minutes. They need a head start since shrimp cook much faster.
Open the basket, add shrimp on top of the vegetables. Toss lightly. Cook another 4-5 minutes at 400°F.
Shrimp are done when they turn pink and curl into a C-shape. An O-shape means overcooked. Pull them immediately!
Squeeze fresh lemon juice over everything. Garnish with parsley. Serve immediately over rice, pasta, or in tacos.
Large shrimp cook in just 4-5 minutes at 400°F. They're done when pink and curled into a C-shape. Overcooked shrimp curl into an O-shape and become rubbery.
Yes! Thaw completely first, then pat very dry. Frozen shrimp have extra moisture that prevents crisping. After thawing and drying, follow the recipe exactly.
Rubbery shrimp = overcooked shrimp. Shrimp cook incredibly fast — just 4-5 minutes max. Watch them carefully and pull as soon as they turn pink and C-shaped.
