- 2½ tablespoons of Butter (salted & melted) I used Kerrygold
- 2 or 3 fresh garlic or Minced garlic
- ½ whole lemon or 2 teaspoons lemon juice
- 2 teaspoons of paprika (optional for color)
- 1 tipping teaspoon of Garlic powder

- A dash of salt (be mindful with salt if using salted butter)

- 2 tablespoons chopped Cilantro (optional for garnishing)
- 1 Fresh lime (optional for garnishing)
Instructions
- Make sure the shrimp are completely thawed and cleaned by rinsing them well and patting them dry.
- Bring all ingredients including shrimp, butter, garlic, paprika, lemon juice, salt, pepper, and boullion together in a bowl and mix thoroughly so each shrimp is coated evenly.
- Preheat the air fryer to 375 degrees Fahrenheit and spray the basket with avocado oil spray.
- Place the shrimp in a single layer in the air fryer basket and cook for 7 to 8 minutes until the shrimp turn pink or opaque, optionally tossing halfway through.
- Remove the shrimp and garnish with extra melted butter and chopped cilantro before serving.
Notes
- While shrimp veins are edible, you may want to remove them for a cleaner taste
- If you don’t have an air fryer, cook the shrimp in a skillet or bake in the oven at 400 degrees for 15-20 minutes
- Remove shrimp as soon as they are pink and opaque to avoid chewiness
- Enjoy warm
