Air Fryer Shrimp Fajitas Recipe

Make Mexican restaurant-style Air Fryer shrimp fajitas in just 10 minutes! Serve over tortilla bread, and top with fresh pico de gallo, zesty lime crema, and fresh avocado slices.

The Ingredients

Here’s what you’ll need to make Air Fryer shrimp fajitas:

• Shrimp – use raw thawed shrimp (not cooked!). You can leave the tails on, or discard them (I like to leave them purely for aesthetics).
• Bell peppers – you can use any color you have, but I like to use a mix to give my fajitas a great color.
• Onion – yellow or red.
• Fajita seasoning – I strongly recommend trying my fajita seasoning recipe. I’m 100% sure that you will love it. It’s one of the most popular recipes on my site for a reason!
• Oil – to help things crisp up.

How to Make Shrimp Fajitas in the Air Fryer

• Preheat the air fryer to 375°F (190°F) for 5 minutes.
• Meanwhile, season the vegetables. Toss with half of the oil and half of the fajita seasoning. Add the vegetables to the Air Fryer basket and Air fry for 3 minutes.
• As the vegetables are being air fried, season the shrimp with the rest of the oil and fajita seasoning.
• When the 3 minutes are up, with a spatula move the vegetables to one side of the air fryer basket, and add the shrimp to the other half.
• Air fry for 6 minutes at 375°F (190°F) flipping halfway through. Mix everything together and serve.

To sum it up, you will air fry the vegetables for 3 minutes then add the shrimp and cook everything for 6 more minutes. So total will be 9 minutes at 375°F (190°F).
