Air Fryer Lemon Shrimp

About

You will love this Keto Air Fryer recipe for shrimp! Succulent shrimp are seasoned with Worcestershire sauce, sea salt, lemon juice, and garlic powder. After the air fryer process, more fresh lemon juice is squeezed onto the shrimp. The result is a deliciously tangy, juicy shrimp! If you haven’t air-fried shrimp before, you will love how quick and easy it is. Not to mention, the high temperature and high fan of the air fryer allow for the shrimp to cook quickly without drying. The rack at the bottom of the air fryer allows for any excess liquid to drain to the bottom, keeping the shrimp nice and dry to enable flavor development.

What kind of shrimp should I use?

Larger shrimp tend to hold up better to the cooking process and stay more succulent. Find shrimp that is in the 31-40 count range or larger.

Is Worcestershire sauce Keto-friendly?

In such small amounts, you can use Worcestershire sauce if net carbs are your concern. If your concern is about any of the other ingredients, please substitute them with coconut aminos.
