Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon Stacey Hawkins Luscious Lemon Oil
- 1 tablespoon Stacey Hawkins Lit Garlic Seasoning
- ½ teaspoon Stacey Hawkins Dash of Desperation Seasoning
- ¼ teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1 pound large, raw, wild-caught shrimp, peeled with tails left intact
- ½ lemon, thinly sliced into wedges, seeds removed
- Fresh chopped herbs for garnish, if desired
- Traditional cocktail sauce, lemon aioli or another favorite dipping sauce if desired. Or serve them straight up! They're so flavorful, they don't need a thing.
Directions
- Prepare the marinade. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the Stacey Hawkins Luscious Lemon Oil, Lit Garlic Seasoning, Dash of Desperation Seasoning, and Worcestershire sauce until well combined.
- Coat the shrimp. Add the shrimp and lemon wedges to the bowl. Toss well to coat evenly, then allow to marinate for 5–10 seconds.
- Air fry. Preheat your air fryer to 400°F. Arrange the shrimp and lemon wedges in a single layer in the air fryer basket, being careful not to overcrowd. Work in batches if necessary.
- Cook. Air fry for 4 minutes, checking for doneness. If needed, cook an additional 1–2 minutes until the shrimp are opaque and cooked through.
- Serve and enjoy! Transfer the shrimp and lemon wedges to a serving platter. Serve warm with your favorite dipping sauce, or enjoy them just as they are.
