1. Preheat the Air Fryer

Set the air fryer to 400°F (200°C) and let it preheat for 5 minutes. Preheating ensures that the shrimp cook evenly from the moment they are placed in the basket.

2. Prepare the Shrimp

While the air fryer is preheating, prepare the shrimp. In a mixing bowl, combine the frozen shrimp with olive oil, garlic powder, paprika, onion powder, dried oregano, salt, and pepper. Toss the shrimp until they are evenly coated with the seasoning mixture.

3. Arrange in the Air Fryer

Place the seasoned shrimp in a single layer in the air fryer basket. Avoid overcrowding the basket to ensure that the hot air can circulate around each piece, cooking them evenly.

4. Cook the Shrimp

Cook the shrimp for 10-12 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through to ensure all sides cook evenly. The shrimp should be pink and opaque when done, with a slightly crispy exterior.

5. Cool and Serve

Once the shrimp are cooked, remove them from the air fryer and let them cool for 2 minutes before serving. This brief cooling period allows the shrimp to firm up slightly and makes them easier to handle.
