Ingredients
- 24 Large Shrimp (peeled and deveined)
- 1 tsp Himalayan salt
- 1 tsp ground black pepper
- 2 tsp Garlic Powder
- 1/2 tsp Dried Oregano
- 1/2 tsp Smoked Paprika
- 1/2 tsp Chipotle Powder
- 2 tbsp extra light olive oil
Instructions
- Add cleaned, peeled and deveined shrimp into a bowl.
- Add all spices and seasonings and mix well to combine. Let sit for a few minutes to marinate.
- Add shrimp in a single layer to a hot skillet and cook for approximately 2-3 minutes until pink and the seasoning has browned and formed a slight crust. You can also add shrimp to an air fryer preheated to 400°F (205°C) for 5-8 minutes, shaking intermittently to ensure that the shrimp is cooking evenly.
- Serve with fresh cilantro and lime wedges. Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days or freeze for up to 6 months.
