How to make Air Fryer Cajun Shrimp:
I make this dish in my Cosori 5.8 qt. air fryer. Depending on your air fryer size and wattages, or if using extra jumbo shrimp, or small shrimp, cooking time may need to be adjusted 1-2 minutes. Optional: garnish with lots of colorful vegetables, a lemon wedge, serve over a bowl of basmati, white or long grain wild rice. Or as an appetizer with a spicy aioli, serve with a refreshing yogurt lemon dipping sauce or simply eat as perfectly spiced shrimp. Optional for different flavor: Using different spice blends is something I enjoy while cooking in the kitchen. Some warm Indian spices that I use are curry powder, garam masala, red chili blends and tandoori masala. Another blend of spices that is packed with flavor is fresh lemon juice, pinch salt and Szechwan pepper. If you’re a hot pepper sauce lover like my husband, toss shrimp in any spice or flavored jar sauce you have in your refrigerator. MORE SEAFOOD AIR FRYER RECIPES:
