  • In dressing cruet or a glass jar with a tight fitting lid, make the marinade by adding the olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, honey, smoked paprika, onion powder, Italian seasoning and grated Parmesan; shake well.

Notes

Recipe Tips

#1 rule when cooking shrimp for any recipe: don't overcook them!! When cooking raw shrimp, the best indicator of doneness is COLOR. Raw shrimp will be gray in color and when they beome fully cooked (yes, within mere minutes), they turn from tha dingy gray to bright, opaque pink with a white center.
Shrimp cook very quickly and if they beome overcooked, they get chewy and tough. These sheet pan shrimp cook especially quickly because they are popped into a very hot oven (400 degrees F.) and are placed in a single layer across the baking sheet.
If you can't find raw shrimp for this recipe that are shelled, you can always purchase raw unshelled shrimp and just peel them yourself, leaving the tails in tact. The shells come off very easily and quickly.

Doubling or Halving This Recipe

This easy shrimp recipe easily doubles and if you do so, be sure use two baking sheets for cooking the shrimp so they are placed in a single layer and have lots of space around each piece of shrim so the heat can circulate well.
Because you are dividing the doubled recipe between two baking sheets, the cooking time will remain the same.
You can also cut this recipe in half if you want to make fewer shrimp and less marinade/dipping sauce. The baking time will remain the same: 8-10 minutes, or just until the shrimp turn from gray in color to an opaque pink.

How to Cook Shrimp in the Air Fryer

Preheat the air fryer to 400 degrees F. Line the air fryer basket with parchment; spray with nonstick baking spray. Place the marinated shrimp onto the parchment paper, leaving space around each one so the heat can easily circulate to cook the shrimp.  Air fry the shrimp for 5-6 minutes, or until they turn from gray in color to opaque pink.  Work in batches as needed so you don't overcrowd the air fryer as the shrimp cooks.
