Air Fryer Old Bay Shrimp
Simple seafood recipes are one of life’s simple pleasures. Air Fryer Old Bay Shrimp would easily fall under this category.
A few ingredients that don’t overpower the shrimp itself.
And a few minutes in the air fryer and you have a divine appetizer or meal.
How to make Air Fryer Old Bay Shrimp
Jumbo shrimp that have been peeled, deveined, and pat dry with paper towels will go into a bowl to start this dish.
Then add some olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, and of course…Old Bay seasoning.
One time saving trick that I love is using garlic paste.
Mincing garlic is not so much my favorite, so I save myself some stress and use this paste.
I find it very easily right by the fresh herbs in the produce section of my grocery store.
Give the shrimp a toss until evenly mixed and the next stop is the air fryer.
Lay the shrimp in a single layer in the air fryer basket just like this.
Then set the air fryer to 390 for 8 to 10 minutes.
As the shrimp cooked in the air fryer, I made an Old Bay Aioli for a dipping sauce.
Simply whisk together some mayo (or light mayo), garlic, lemon juice, and Old Bay seasoning in a bowl.
It smells absolutely amazing as it cooks with the garlic, lemon, and Old Bay all combined in a delicious aroma!
This Air Fryer Old Bay Shrimp is drool-worthy for sure.
Serve with the Old Bay Aioli on the side for dipping and enjoy 🙂
Other suggestions for using this shrimp include serving them on a salad, with cauliflower rice (with the aioli mixed it), or topping some fettuccine alfredo or pasta of choice.
