AIR FRYER CAJUN SHRIMP

Air Fryer Cajun Shrimp image

Shrimp cook really fast and are on the table in less than 15 minutes. They have just a little kick, so it's perfect for eating by itself, served over rice, or added to tacos, a salad, fajitas, pastas, or incorporated into a sheet pan dinner. The spiciness can be controlled by the amount of Cajun seasoning and cayenne you use.

Ingredients

1 pound large shrimp, peeled and deveined
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 teaspoon Cajun seasoning blend (such as Tony Chachere's®)
½ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
¼ teaspoon onion powder
¼ teaspoon cayenne pepper
