Ingredients

1 lb - shrimp
1 - red bell pepper
½ - yellow onion
1 tbsp - olive oil
1 tsp - chili powder
½ tsp - garlic powder
⅛ teaspoons small pinches - cayenne pepper
½ tsp - salt
½ tsp - black pepper
rice, quinoa, pad thai noodles

Instructions

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.
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.
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.
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.
