Make delicious, crispy Garlic Parmesan Shrimp fast using your air fryer. This easy recipe delivers maximum flavor for a perfect weeknight dinner or appetizer.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound large shrimp, peeled and deveined
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/2 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 helps them get crispy.
  2. In a medium bowl, toss the shrimp with olive oil, minced garlic, salt, and pepper until coated.
  3. Place the seasoned 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 6 to 8 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through the cooking time.
  5. Remove the basket and immediately sprinkle the grated Parmesan cheese over the hot shrimp. Toss gently to coat.
  6. Return the shrimp to the air fryer for 1 minute to melt the cheese slightly.
  7. Transfer the finished shrimp to a serving dish and garnish with fresh parsley. Serve right away for the best texture.

Notes

  • For a spicier kick, add 1/4 teaspoon of red pepper flakes with the garlic.
  • Do not overcook the shrimp; they turn rubbery quickly. They are done when they curl into a C shape and are opaque.
  • This recipe works well as a low carb air fryer meal or a keto air fryer recipe.
