Boost your seafood game with the zesty and succulent flavours of our Air Fryer Lemon Garlic Shrimp Skewers! This recipe combines the natural sweetness of shrimp with the tangy brightness of lemon and the aromatic allure of garlic. The air fryer ensures that each shrimp is perfectly cooked to tender perfection while locking in the vibrant flavours.
Ingredients:
1 pound large shrimp, peeled and deveined
2 tablespoons olive oil
Zest and juice of 1 lemon
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 teaspoon dried oregano
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
Wooden skewers, soaked in water
Instructions:
Marinate the Shrimp:
In a bowl, combine olive oil, lemon zest, lemon juice, minced garlic, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper.
Thread the Skewers:
Thread the marinated shrimp onto the soaked wooden skewers, making sure they’re evenly spaced and not too tightly packed.
Preheat the Air Fryer:
Preheat your air fryer to 400°F (200°C) for a few minutes.
Air Frying:
Lightly grease the air fryer basket to prevent sticking.
Arrange the skewers in the basket in a single layer, ensuring they’re not touching each other.
Cook the Shrimp:
Air fry the skewers at 400°F (200°C) for 5-7 minutes, flipping them halfway through. The shrimp should turn pink and opaque.
Serve and Enjoy:
Carefully remove the shrimp skewers from the air fryer and transfer them to a serving platter. Garnish with fresh lemon slices and chopped parsley.
Tips:
Opt for large shrimp for these skewers, as they hold up well to the cooking process and are perfect for threading onto skewers.
Customise the marinade with your favourite herbs and spices, such as crushed red pepper for a hint of heat.
Soaking the wooden skewers in water before use prevents them from burning during cooking.
Serve the shrimp skewers over a bed of rice, quinoa, or a fresh salad for a complete meal.
An impressive dish that’s as effortless as it is delicious – seafood lovers, this one’s for you!
