🥘 Ingredients
Main
  • 1 lb large shrimp (peeled, deveined)
Seasoning
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tbsp Cajun seasoning
  • 1 tsp smoked paprika
  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder
Serving
  • lemon wedges (for serving)
  • remoulade or ranch (for dipping)
📝 Instructions
  1. Pat shrimp dry. Thread 5-6 shrimp onto each skewer, leaving a little space between each. Shared 💡 Space between shrimp allows hot air to circulate and cook evenly.
  2. Brush skewers with olive oil on both sides. Shared 💡 Oil helps the seasoning stick and promotes browning.
  3. Mix Cajun seasoning, smoked paprika, and garlic powder. Sprinkle generously over both sides of the shrimp. Shared 💡 Cajun seasoning already has salt — taste before adding more.
  4. Preheat Ninja on Air Fry at 400°F for 3 minutes. Lower Oven
  5. Place skewers in the pan. If skewers are too long, trim handles or angle them. Air Fry at 400°F for 4 minutes. Lower Oven 💡 Do not crowd — cook in batches if your basket cannot fit all skewers flat.
  6. Flip skewers. Air Fry at 400°F for 3-4 more minutes until shrimp are pink and opaque. Lower Oven 💡 Shrimp are done when they form a loose C-shape. Tight O-shape means overcooked.
  7. Serve immediately with lemon wedges and dipping sauce. Shared 💡 A squeeze of fresh lemon cuts through the spice beautifully.
💡 Ninja Tips

Cajun seasoning varies in salt and heat between brands. Taste yours first. For homemade Cajun: mix 1 tsp each paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, oregano, and 1/2 tsp each cayenne, thyme, salt, pepper.

Scaling: To double: cook in batches. To halve: use 1/2 lb shrimp, halve seasoning.
