Scale
Main Ingredients
- 2 pounds large shrimp, peeled and deveined
- 1 Tablespoon olive oil
- 1 1/2 Tablespoon Old Bay seasoning
- 1 tablespoon freshly squeezed lemon juice
- 1 Tablespoon fresh chopped parsley
Instructions
- Prepare the shrimp: In a large bowl, combine the peeled and deveined shrimp, olive oil, Old Bay seasoning, and freshly squeezed lemon juice. Toss well to coat each shrimp evenly with the seasoning mixture.
- Preheat and arrange shrimp: Preheat your air fryer to 360ºF. Arrange the seasoned shrimp in a single layer in the air fryer basket, ensuring they are not overcrowded for even cooking.
- Cook shrimp: Air fry the shrimp at 360ºF for 10 minutes until they are pink, opaque, and cooked through. Shrimp are done when they reach an internal temperature of 145ºF.
- Serve: Remove the shrimp from the air fryer basket and place them on a serving plate. Sprinkle fresh chopped parsley over the top for a burst of color and flavor. Serve immediately and enjoy your delicious Old Bay shrimp!
Notes
- Store leftovers in an airtight container for 1 to 2 days in the refrigerator or up to 3 months in the freezer.
- Reheat leftovers in the air fryer for 2-3 minutes or until warmed through to retain their crispness.
- Ensure shrimp are cooked to an internal temperature of 145ºF for food safety.
- If you do not have an air fryer, shrimp can be cooked under a broiler or in a skillet but cooking times will vary.
- Fresh lemon juice adds the best flavor, but bottled lemon juice can be used in a pinch.
- Feel free to adjust Old Bay seasoning to taste for more or less spice.
