🥘 Ingredients

Main

1 lb large shrimp (peeled, deveined, tail-on or off)

Sauce

4 tbsp butter (melted)
4 cloves garlic (minced)
1 tbsp lemon juice (fresh)

Seasoning

1/2 tsp smoked paprika
1/4 tsp red pepper flakes (optional)
1/2 tsp salt

Garnish

1 tbsp fresh parsley (chopped)
lemon wedges (for serving)

Serving

crusty bread (for soaking up garlic butter)

📝 Instructions

Pat shrimp completely dry with paper towels. Shared 💡 Wet shrimp steam instead of sear. Dry them thoroughly.
In a bowl, mix melted butter, garlic, lemon juice, paprika, red pepper flakes, and salt. Shared 💡 If butter solidifies, microwave 10 seconds — you need it liquid to coat.
Toss shrimp in the garlic butter mixture until evenly coated. Shared 💡 Every shrimp should glisten — do not be stingy with the butter.
Preheat Ninja on Air Fry at 400°F for 3 minutes. Lower Oven 💡 The high heat gives a quick sear without overcooking the delicate shrimp.
Place shrimp in the basket in a single layer. Pour any remaining butter mixture over them. Air Fry at 400°F for 4 minutes. Lower Oven 💡 Do not overcrowd — shrimp need space for the hot air to circulate.
Toss or flip shrimp. Air Fry at 400°F for another 3-4 minutes until pink and opaque throughout. Lower Oven 💡 Perfectly cooked shrimp form a C-shape. If they curl into a tight O, they are overcooked.
Transfer to a serving dish immediately, garnish with parsley and lemon wedges. Serve with crusty bread for the garlic butter. Shared 💡 The garlic butter left in the basket is liquid gold — pour it over the shrimp!

💡 Ninja Tips

Shrimp cook extremely fast. At 400°F, 7-8 minutes total is the sweet spot for large shrimp (21-25 count). Smaller shrimp need less time. The C-shape rule: loose C = perfect, tight O = overcooked.

Scaling: To double: cook in two batches — do not crowd. To halve: use 1/2 lb shrimp, halve all ingredients.
