Instructions

Preheat the air fryer to 400°F.
Mix the spices—smoked paprika, garlic powder, salt, black pepper, and cayenne pepper—in a small bowl.
Rub the spice mixture thoroughly all over the frozen shrimp, ensuring they are well coated.
Place the seasoned shrimp in the air fryer basket, ensuring they are spread out evenly.
Spray the shrimp lightly with olive oil.
Air fry the shrimp for 10 minutes, flipping halfway through for even cooking.

Notes

Ensure shrimp are evenly spaced in the air fryer basket for optimal crispiness. A light spray of olive oil enhances crispiness and helps spices adhere better.
