Ingredients

Instructions

  1. 1. Pat 300 g shrimp dry with paper towels. Never wash them, or they’ll get mushy.
  2. 2. Peel 4 cloves garlic. Remove the hard germ inside each clove.
  3. 3. Mince the garlic very finely. This stops it from burning in the high heat.
  4. 4. Pour the olive oil, lemon juice, paprika, salt and pepper into a bowl.
  5. 5. Stir the spices with the minced garlic to make a paste. It needs to be thick.
  6. 6. Put the dry shrimp into the bowl. Toss them until each one is well coated.
  7. 7. Let the shrimp marinate for 10 minutes. This allows the flavors to soak in.
  8. 8. Preheat the air fryer to 200 °C. Heat it for 3 minutes beforehand.
  9. 9. Place the shrimp in the basket. Make sure they’re in a single layer.
  10. 10. Cook the shrimp at 200 °C for 7 minutes. The surface should become slightly crispy.
  11. 11. Shake the basket vigorously. Flip the shrimp for even browning all around.
  12. 12. Cook for another 2 minutes at 200 °C. The flesh will now turn opaque white-pink.
  13. 13. Take the basket out. The shrimp are ready when they bend easily.
  14. 14. Serve them immediately. The dish is perfect when the garlic is golden brown and fragrant.
