Instructions

• 1 Begin by preheating your air fryer to 400°F (200°C) for 5 minutes. This step is
  essential, so don't skip it.
• 2 Peel and devein the shrimp if needed. You can choose to leave the tails on or
  remove them, depending on your preference.
• 3 In a small food processor, combine the olive oil, lemon juice, fresh parsley,
  fresh thyme, dried oregano, fresh basil, garlic, kosher salt, black pepper,
  cayenne pepper, and red chili flakes. Blend until the mixture forms a flavorful
  marinade.
• 4 Place the shrimp in a bowl and gently pour ¾ of the prepared marinade over them.
  Gently mix to ensure all the shrimp are coated. For optimal flavor, refrigerate
  the mixture and let it marinate for at least 30 minutes.
• 5 Arrange the marinated shrimp in a single layer in the preheated air fryer
  basket. Depending on the size of your air fryer, you may need to cook in
  batches.
• 6 Air fry the shrimp at 400°F for about 5 minutes, or until they turn pink and
  opaque.
