Here’s a simple, flavorful Air Fryer Shrimp recipe with garlic, pepper, parsley, and olive oil 🍤
Fast, healthy, and perfect as a main or appetizer.

🍤 Garlic–Parsley Marinated Shrimp (Air Fryer)

Ingredients

• 1 lb (450 g) raw shrimp, peeled & deveined
• 3 tbsp olive oil
• 3–4 cloves garlic, finely minced
• ½–1 tsp black pepper (to taste)
• ½ tsp salt
• 2–3 tbsp fresh parsley, finely chopped
• Optional: pinch of red pepper flakes or a squeeze of lemon juice

Marinate

1. In a bowl, combine olive oil, garlic, salt, pepper, and parsley.
2. Add shrimp and toss until well coated.
3. Marinate 15–30 minutes (no longer than 30 so the shrimp stay tender).

Air Fryer Instructions

1. Preheat air fryer to 400°F (200°C) for 3–5 minutes.
2. Arrange shrimp in a single layer in the basket (cook in batches if needed).
3. Air fry for 6–8 minutes, shaking or flipping halfway, until:
   • shrimp are pink
   • opaque
   • lightly crisp on the edges

Serve

• Finish with fresh parsley or lemon juice.
• Great with:
  • rice or couscous
  • pasta
  • salad
  • crusty bread

Tips

• Medium shrimp: ~6 minutes
• Large shrimp: ~7–8 minutes
• Don’t overcrowd—shrimp cook fast and need air flow.

If you want, I can give you:

• a Mediterranean version
• a spicy version
• or a butter-garlic finish 😊
