Instructions
1
Prep: Thaw and remove the tails from the shrimp. You can cook them tails on but I like to get it over with so I can enjoy my meal tail-free. Place the shrimp in a strainer to remove the excess liquid. If you’re serving with rice, start that now. Make sure the veggies are prepped and ready to go.
2
Mix it together: Add the shrimp, bell pepper, onion, oil, chili powder, garlic powder, cayenne pepper, salt & black pepper to a medium sized mixing bowl and stir to combine.
3
Cook: Place seasoned shrimp and vegetable mixture into your air fryer basket. Set the air fryer to about 330F degrees. Air fry the shrimp and vegetables for 10-13 minutes total, shaking the basket halfway through.
4
Serve: Serve with rice, quinoa, pad thai noodles, or any other carb you prefer. Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 4 days.

Tips & Tricks (5)
- Pat Shrimp Dry for Crispy Results 💧Use paper towels to thoroughly dry shrimp before air frying—this removes excess moisture and ensures better browning and texture in the air fryer basket.
- Don't Overcrowd the Basket 🍤Arrange shrimp and vegetables in a single layer without overlapping to allow hot air circulation, resulting in even cooking and crispy edges on all sides.
- Shake Halfway Through Cooking 🔄Stop halfway through cooking to shake the basket gently, ensuring vegetables and shrimp cook evenly and prevents them from sticking together.
- Season Vegetables Separately for Better Coating 🧅Toss bell peppers and onions with oil and spices 5 minutes before adding shrimp, as shrimp releases moisture and can prevent proper seasoning adhesion on vegetables.
- Slice Vegetables Uniformly for Even Cooking 🔪Cut onions and peppers into similar-sized pieces (roughly ¾-inch) so they cook at the same rate as the shrimp and maintain optimal texture throughout.
