- 1 lb large shrimp raw; remove shell and tail if desired; note 1
- 1 ½ tablespoons olive oil
- 1 ½ tablespoons lime juice note 2
- 1 ½ tablespoons honey note 3
- 2 cloves garlic minced
- ⅛ teaspoon salt
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.
Cook - Heat the air fryer to 390°F/200°C.Shake excess marinade off the shrimp and put the whole batch in the air fryer. Cook for 2 minutes, give the basket a good shake, and return to the air fryer. Cook for another 2-3 minutes, or until shrimp are pink and cooked through. Serve - with lime wedges and cilantro.
- 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.
- fresh limes add an extra punch of flavor, but bottled can be used; lemon may be swapped in a pinch
- honey may be swapped for maple syrup or your favorite liquid sweetener
Storage
This recipe is best served fresh, however, the marinade can be stirred together up to 4 days ahead and stored in the fridge. Do not marinate shrimp for more than 1 hour.
