Instructions
- Use paper towels to dry the shrimp thoroughly, then transfer them to a large mixing bowl.
- Cut the zucchini into rounds that are 1/4 inch thick and slice the red pepper into 1/4 inch strips. Add these to the bowl with the shrimp.
- Drizzle the vegetable oil, garlic paste, Italian seasoning, grated cheese, and a pinch of salt and pepper into the bowl. Stir everything until well combined.

- Enjoy the dish as is, or pair it with buttered pasta or fettuccine Alfredo.
Notes
- Pat the shrimp dry before cooking for a perfect sear in the air fryer.
- Customize the veggies with your favorites like mushrooms or cherry tomatoes.
- Avoid overcrowding the air fryer for even cooking; consider batches if necessary.
