One of my favorite things about shrimp is how versatile it is. So simple and easy to prepare, it is delicious just about any way you make it. And this Air Fryer Lemon Pepper Shrimp is definitely one of my personal favorites!
Enjoy some Lemon Pepper Shrimp Skewers made in the Air Fryer
You start off with some nice, plump medium shrimp. Peel and de-vein them if it isn’t done already. Then you just whip up some oil, lemon juice, and spices to cover your shrimp in before cooking it in the air fryer.
You end up with shrimp that is juicy and tender, with that fried taste we all love. The lemon pepper, juice, and spices combine to make this shrimp taste like summertime. Serve it up with a nice salad or steamed veggies for a meal that is light, healthy, and refreshing. Make an even bigger batch to share with friends and family.
