Steps for Air Fryer Shrimp
Clean the shrimp by making a cut under the shell and above to remove the vein. Rinse them well and place on the air fryer parchment paper.
In a bowl, place the oil, salt, and lemon juice and mix everything together. Pour this “citronette” sauce over the shrimp.
Cook at 374°F for 10 minutes, turning the shrimp halfway through. This way they will be tender and juicy inside and well cooked outside.
Serve the shrimp immediately, accompanied by a fresh salad.
