Method
Marinade – In a large bowl, stir together the olive oil, lime juice, honey, garlic and salt. Add the shrimp and marinate for 20-30 minutes.
Step 1
Heat the air fryer to 200°C.

Cook for another 2-3 minutes, or until shrimp are pink and cooked through.
Step 4
Serve with lime wedges and cilantro.
Notes:
Shrimp – you can use any type of shrimp and adjust the cook time as needed. Make sure you start with fully thawed shrimp; we do recommend peeling, deveining, and removing the tails to make them easier to eat. Pictured are large-sized shrimp.
Olive oil – could be swapped for avocado oil
Lime juice – fresh limes add an extra punch of flavour, but bottled can be used; lemon may be swapped in a pinch
Honey – honey may be swapped for maple syrup or your favourite liquid sweetener.
Garlic – we used fresh minced garlic for the best flavour
Storage Options:
Refrigerate cooked shrimp within 2 hours of cooking, discard any shrimp that smell sour or have a slimy appearance, do not reheat more than once.
Fridge – Air fryer shrimp are best served fresh, however they are safe to store after cooking in an air tight container in the fridge for up to 2-3 days
Marinade – can be stirred together up to 4 days ahead and stored in the fridge.
