With simple and easily available ingredients, this air fryer shrimp no breading recipe can be cooked anytime and for any occasion, specially for weekday or weekend dinner. Since I did a no breading recipe, you can have it if you are on keto, low-carb, dairy-free or gluten free diet. But please do consult your dietician before getting into any sort of diet plan.

I used to always make pan fried shrimp like these crispy semolina coated prawns, but recently I have fallen in love with the air fryer. My kiddo loves these crispy shrimp and keeps asking for more. Incase you want to know how to clean shrimp, then this is the best tutorial where I am showing 3 ways to clean shrimps easily.

Ingredients that go in making air fryer shrimp no breading:

  • Shrimp: Use fresh, medium sized shrimp in this recipe. If using frozen, directly add them in the air fryer after adding seasoning.
  • Seasoning: For seasoning I have used paprika, garlic powder, black pepper powder, Italian seasoning, and salt.
  • Oil: Use olive oil in this shrimp recipe.

How to make easy fried shrimp?

  • Wash the shrimp, peel, and devein. Pat dry. If you prefer, you can keep some shell near the tail of the shrimp to make crispy shrimp with shell in air fryer.
  • Pre-heat the air fryer for 4 minutes at 200 C or 380F
  • In a bowl, combine shrimp, seasonings like black pepper powder, Italian seasoning, garlic powder, paprika, salt and olive oil.
  • After pre-heating, place the shrimp in the air fryer basket or rack one by one.
  • Air fry for 7 minutes at 200C
  • Halfway through flip the shrimp to other side and continue air frying.
  • Garnish with finely chopped parsley.

Can you put frozen shrimp in this recipe?

Yes, you can! Just apply the seasonings to the shrimp, pre-heat the air fryer and then add seasoned shrimp in it.  Frozen shrimp might take slightly more time as compared to defrosted or fresh raw shrimp.

Fried shrimp

Can you reheat shrimp in air fryer?

Off course you can! Just reheat the air fryer to 200C and place the shrimp in it. Cook for 3 minutes or till they are warm enough till they are crispy again. But I will still say that freshly prepared shrimp taste the best.

Variations of shrimp fried in air fryer:

You can make air fried garlic shrimp or shrimp tacos or fajitas. Add some vegetables like onion and zucchini while air fyring shrimp.

Storing fried shrimp:

Pack the fried shrimp in an airtight container or wrap tightly in aluminum foil or plastic wrap. Then store it in refrigerator for 3 to 4 days.

How to serve air fried shrimp?

You can serve the shrimp fried in air fryer as a side dish with rice dishes, pasta or noodles or you can even add it salads or to pasta just like this roasted shrimp lemon pasta where instead of pan frying the shrimp, just air fry and make the pasta much healthier. You can also add these air fried shrimp in tacos or fajitas.

Equipment

  • 1 Air Fryer

Ingredients

  • 20 shrimps
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper powder
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • 1 tablespoon oil
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • ¼ teaspoon salt or as per taste
  • 1 tablespoon parsley for garnish finely chopped

Instructions

  • Wash the shrimp, peel, and devein. Pat dry.
  • Pre-heat the air fryer for 4 minutes at 200 C or 380F
  • In a bowl, combine shrimp, seasonings like black pepper powder, Italian seasoning, garlic powder, paprika, salt and olive oil.
  • After pre-heating, place the shrimps in the air fryer basket or rack one by one.
  • Air fry for 7 minutes at 200C.
  • Halfway through flip the shrimp to other side and continue air frying.
  • Garnish with finely chopped parsley.

Notes

  • If needed grease the air fryer tray with 1 teaspoon oil or line with a parchment paper. Do not use a cooking spray like Pam cooking spray in an air fryer.
  • I have used small to medium sized shrimp in this shrimp appetizer recipe.
  • If you are using big or jumbo-sized shrimp you will need to air fry for more time.
  • If you are using a larger quantity, you can air fry them in batches. Just even shake the basket halfway if you are using more quantity of shrimp.
  • Larger air fryers will cook faster, so adjust the time accordingly.

    Air fryer shrimp for the win! This was so darn easy I doubt I’ll ever cook shrimp using another method. I love that you don’t even have to thaw it first since I’m so bad at planning ahead. I tossed this shrimp with some linguini and a simple lemon sauce and it was superb.
