Preheat your air fryer to 400Β°F (200Β°C). This usually takes about 3-5 minutes.
In a large bowl, combine the olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, sea salt, and black pepper. Mix well to form a seasoned oil mixture.
Add the peeled and deveined shrimp to the bowl and toss until all the shrimp are evenly coated with the seasoning mix.
Arrange the shrimp in a single layer in the air fryer basket. Depending on the size of your air fryer, you may need to cook in batches to avoid overcrowding, ensuring crispiness.
Air fry the shrimp at 400Β°F (200Β°C) for 8-10 minutes. Shake the basket halfway through the cooking process for even browning.
Once cooked, the shrimp should be pink and opaque with a crispy exterior. Remove them from the air fryer using tongs.
Serve immediately with lemon wedges to squeeze over the top for added zest and freshness.
