Gambas al ajo y pimentón en freidora de aire

Ingredientes

• 1 lb Large Shrimp (21/25 count), peeled and deveined
• 1 tbsp Avocado oil
• 1 tsp Cornstarch
• 1.5 tsp Smoked Spanish Paprika
• 1 tsp Garlic Powder
• 0.5 tsp Onion powder
• 0.25 tsp Cayenne pepper
• 0.5 tsp Kosher salt
• 0.25 tsp Cracked black pepper
• 1 tbsp Fresh parsley, minced

Preparación

1. 1

   Pat the shrimp extremely dry with paper towels to ensure a crispy texture and prevent steaming.

2. 2

   In a large mixing bowl, toss the shrimp with the avocado oil until evenly coated to create a sticky surface for the spices.

3. 3

   Sprinkle the cornstarch, smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper (and optional cayenne) over the shrimp. Toss vigorously until a vibrant, orange-red paste forms and the cornstarch is fully integrated.

4. 4

   Preheat the air fryer to 400°F (200°C).

5. 5

   Arrange the shrimp in a single layer in the air fryer basket. Cook for 4 minutes, then flip or shake the basket and cook for another 3 minutes until the shrimp reach a 'C' shape and the coating is crispy.

6. 6

   Garnish with minced fresh parsley and serve immediately.
