Instructions
Prep
Pat 360g jumbo shrimp dry. Toss with 0.8 tbsp olive oil, 1 tbsp + 1 tsp lemon juice, lemon zest, 2 grated garlic cloves, both paprikas, oregano, thyme, onion powder, cayenne, salt, and pepper. Rest 10 minutes until spices bloom.
Roast
Preheat air fryer to 200°C (400°F) for 3 minutes. Arrange all shrimp (approximately 12–14 pieces) in a single layer with space between. Spray lightly with olive oil spray. Air-fry 6–8 minutes, flipping halfway, until pink, opaque, and cooked through. No second batch needed for this smaller quantity.
Cool
Cool shrimp fully on a rack until room temperature.
Plate
Divide cooled shrimp into 2 portions and transfer to airtight containers. Serve chilled with sliced bell pepper, celery sticks, or yogurt dip for crunch and balance.
