Make crispy, flavorful garlic Parmesan shrimp quickly using your air fryer. This recipe delivers a crunchy exterior and tender interior.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb large shrimp, peeled and deveined
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped

Instructions

  1. Pat the shrimp completely dry with paper towels. This step helps achieve crispiness.
  2. In a medium bowl, toss the dried shrimp with olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper until evenly coated.
  3. Place the shrimp in a single layer in the air fryer basket. Do not overcrowd the basket; cook in batches if necessary.
  4. Air fry at 380°F (195°C) for 5 minutes.
  5. Carefully open the air fryer, sprinkle the grated Parmesan cheese evenly over the shrimp.
  6. Return the basket and cook for another 2 to 4 minutes, or until the shrimp is pink and cooked through and the cheese is golden brown. Watch closely to prevent the cheese from burning.
  7. Remove from the air fryer, toss with fresh parsley, and serve immediately.

Notes

  • For a stronger garlic flavor, use 1/2 teaspoon of fresh minced garlic mixed with the oil, but add it after the initial 5-minute cook time to prevent burning.
  • Ensure the shrimp is in a single layer for the best crisping results.
  • Adjust the temperature slightly lower if your air fryer runs hot to protect the Parmesan.
