Description

These spicy shrimp are marinated and cooked to perfection, delivering a burst of flavor in every bite!


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb large or jumbo shrimp
  • 1 Tbsp hot honey (I use Mike’s hot honey)
  • 1 Tbsp extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 lime, juice of (~2 Tbsp lime juice)
  • 1 tsp chili powder
  • 1 tsp smoked paprika
  • ½ tsp garlic powder
  • ½ tsp kosher salt
  • ¼ tsp black pepper

Instructions

  1. Clean and devein your raw shrimp. Pat shrimp dry with paper towels.
  2. In a large bowl, combine the deveined shrimp, olive oil, hot honey, lime juice, and spice mixture until each shrimp is coated. Let it marinate for about 10 minutes.
  3. If making these shrimp in the air fryer, spread them in an even layer in your air fryer basket. Air fry at 400°F (200°C) for 5-6 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through cooking. Serve with lime wedges!
  4. Hint: An alternative cooking option is in a skillet! Heat a large skillet on medium-high heat and add a drizzle of oil. Add shrimp to the skillet in a single layer. Then cook each side of the shrimp for 2-3 minutes or until cooked through. You can tell when the shrimp is done when it turns opaque.

Notes

  • For best results, do not overcrowd the air fryer or skillet.
  • Serve with additional lime wedges for garnishing.
