There is nothing like a great and easy dinner of Air Fryer Garlic and Lemon Shrimp. If you enjoy shrimp, here is one of the easiest shrimp recipes for you to try out. Tender, juicy shrimp that is seasoned with garlic and lemon. 

Many people ask me why I make shrimp in the air fryer, and it comes out with two words.

  • Easy
  • Delicious

You can either air fry this up from frozen or use defrosted shrimp. Either of them will work in the air fryer.

It is one of the best recipes, and it has lots of flavors, and it comes out perfectly all of the time. You can marinate the shrimp with anything. Today, I used a classic season blend of garlic and lemon flavors and came up with this dish.

What is the difference between prawns and shrimp?

Prawn and shrimp are two pretty similar items. Prawn will have longer legs than a shrimp. Both are similar in flavor, but you will find offers a little bit of a different flavor.  

How to Devein Shrimp 

If you purchased shrimp that has not been deveined, it is easy to do. Grab a pairing knife and slice a slit on the backside of the shrimp where the vein is. Then use a toothpick or a piece of a wooden skewer. Use it to lift out the black or brown vein. Gently lift, and it will remove the vein. Then place the vein on a paper towel. 

How to Know When Shrimp Is Done 

Shrimp is done when it is opaque and white. You will find shrimp is white with a slightly pink or red accent. You want to make sure to get your shrimp fully cooked, or it can make you sick.  

Also, you will find that shrimp curls up a bit as it is fully cooked.
