Components
- 500 g of whole medium shrimp (including shell and head) (approximately 25 pieces, yielding 250 g of peeled shrimp)
- 1 tablespoon of olive oil
- Half a teaspoon of smoked paprika
- A small amount of cayenne pepper
- Half a teaspoon of salt
Setup phase
- To prepare the shrimp: take off the heads and shells — these can be used to prepare shrimp broth. Using a toothpick, pierce a hole near the tail and carefully pull out the vein (if it breaks, continue pulling and discard it). Alternatively, you can make a shallow incision along the shrimp’s back with a small sharp knife and remove the vein.
- Set the Electrolux air fryer by Rita Lobo to 200°C and preheat it for 5 minutes on the baking setting.
- In a bowl, combine the cleaned shrimp with olive oil, paprika, cayenne pepper, and salt, stirring thoroughly to evenly coat each piece with the spices.
- Arrange the shrimp in the basket and bake until they turn golden brown—there’s no need to flip them halfway through. Serve immediately.
Please provide the text you would like me to paraphrase.
Use the shrimp peels and heads to make a flavorful broth that can be added to risottos, stews, and soups.
