Calories: 134kcal
Equipment
- air fryer
Ingredients
- 1.5 lb frozen shrimp
- 1 tsp avocado oil spray preferred
- 1 tbsp lemon-pepper seasoning
- fresh lemon juice to taste
Instructions
- Preheat air fryer to 375°F.
- Once air fryer is preheated, add the frozen shrimp to the air fryer basket in a single layer. (Pick apart any that are stuck together.) Air fry for 5 minutes.
- After 5 minutes, the shrimp will be thawed but only partially cooked, so now is a good time to add your seasoning. (It will stick better compared to adding it to frozen shrimp.) Add shrimp to a bowl and coat with avocado oil, then add lemon pepper seasoning and toss to coat.
- Add the frozen shrimp to the air fryer basket again and put it back in the air fryer, cooking for another 5 minutes, or until the shrimp reach an internal temperature of 145°F.
- Serve immediately with a generous squeeze of lemon juice. (Use as a salad topper, your main protein source with a starch and veggie, or add to tacos.)
