Equipment

Air Fryer

Ingredients

1 lb frozen shrimp tail on, peeled & deveined. I usually look for the 21-30 size so they are relatively large! see notes below for using pre-cooked frozen shrimp.
avocado oil spray for basket
¼ tsp salt
½ tsp garlic powder
½ tsp paprika
½ tsp chili powder
¼ tsp cumin
¼ tsp oregano

Taco Bowl Ingredients (Optional)

White rice
black beans
avocado
salsa
sour cream
cilantro
jalapenos

Instructions

Add frozen shrimp directly into air fryer basket.
Sprinkle seasonings over top.
Lightly spray with avocado oil.
Air fry for 10-11 minutes at 400 until pink and crispy, and no longer opaque. Shake the basket halfway through to ensure even cooking.
Carefully remove from the air fryer, gently shaking the basket to remove any excess oil.
Serve as-is, or in taco bowls with rice, beans, avocado, and other desired toppings!
