This was okay. Didn’t have too much flavor and kind of dry, but love shrimp no matter what you do with them. Most likely won’t do this again.

Simple, quick and delicious. Made as written. Used Mrs. Dash Lemon Pepper Seasoning for no sodium added. Also, made 16 oz, they disappeared quickly. I cooked at 350 degrees for 6-8 minutes.

Very easy and tasty. Great with spaghetti squash. Thanks for the recipe.
Amanda Robinson
I made no changes and it turned out to be excellent.
Bradley Dean
Not much taste. Too many good shrimp recipes out there. This is not a keeper
Randy Edwards
Fast and easy

Not much flavor – in part because the “marinade” didn’t really stick to the shrimp. I think I would have been better sprinkling the lemon pepper just before tossing into the Air Fryer. Or use only half a lemon juiced? Maybe I would have been better off sautéing either the sauce in a hot pan vs Air Fryer? I wanted to like but hardly had flavor. Thanks anyways!

I followed recipe but instead of air fryer i skewered and grilled the shrimp. A fantastic recipe that will remain in my favorites list.
Mr. Ryan Sanchez
So easy to throw together and totally delicious. I cooked it for the minimum 6 minutes but found it a bit dry so next time will cook for only 5 minutes. I’d also like to try to marinate it in that coating for a bit before cooking.
Robert Smith
Easy and delicious. Can’t go wrong. Needed more!!

Followed the recipe as written, everything was good but cooking time was WAAAAAY off. Used jumbo shrimp, marinated them for about half an hour. Cooked at 390 (as high as my air fryer goes) for 4 minutes, intending to flip them. They were done! Would have been inedible at 6-8 min. Will do these again, with timing in mind.

I love shrimp but have had a tough time finding a flavorful recipe. I substituted smoked paprika for regular paprika and now I have my new go to!
Stephanie Anderson
Very tasty! I will try again with some jumbo shrimp though

My family likes spiciness so I added 1/4 teaspoon of black and red

I am not a fan of lemon pepper flavored things, but this was amazing! My whole family loved this, including my super picky 11 year old. The only change I made was not serving extra lemon slices with it and I had to add an extra minute to the cooking time. I will make this again!
Kyle Kim
We really liked this one. I substituted 1/4 C concentrated lemon juice for fresh. Cooked in my air fryer. Served with coconut jasmine rice and yellow summer squash casserole. Delicious!
Nicholas Smith
DH & I both give it 5 stars!
Kristin Hall
Really tasty, really fast, perfectly cooked in the air fryer
Thomas Mclaughlin
This was so easy to make…and SO good! I put it over rice. I will definitely make it again.
Michael Moore
Sooo good! I added minced garlic and spray my shrimp with avocado oil before cooking. 6 minutes maximum time needed!
Sarah Schultz
Really good recipe. It didnt last more than 5 minutes. Will be making again
