20 Minute Air Fryer Shrimp Tacos
My air fryer shrimp tacos are the easiest 20 minute recipe for taco night. Paired with a cilantro lime slaw, colorful veggies and creamy avocado, it's a delicious weeknight dinner option.
Servings: 8 tacos
Ingredients
For the shrimp:
- 1 lb raw shrimp deveined and peeled
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- ½ teaspoon ground cumin
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- ½ teaspoon paprika
- ½ teaspoon chili powder
- Salt and black pepper to taste
For the cilantro lime salad:
- ½ cup plain Greek yogurt
- Juice of 1 medium lime
- ¼ cup cilantro
- ¼ cup feta cheese
- 4 cups bagged coleslaw mix
For serving:
- 8 6 inch tortillas
- 1 medium avocado mashed
- ½ cup feta cheese crumbled (or cotija cheese)
- ½ cup cherry tomatoes halved
- 1 lime sliced into wedges
Instructions
- In a large bowl add shrimp, olive oil and spices. Toss to coat. Once shrimp are fully coated in spices, arrange in a single layer in the basket of your airfryer. Air fry at 400F for about 6-8 minutes, or until shrimp is pink in colour and fully cooked.
- While shrimp is cooking, make your cilantro lime dressing by blending together Greek yogurt, cilantro, feta cheese and lime until smooth.
- Pour bagged coleslaw into a medium sized bowl, and toss with half of the dressing (save the other half for serving).
- Optional: Warm your tortillas by wrapping in tinfoil and placing in the oven at 350F for about 10 minutes.
- To construct your tacos, spread a layer of mashed avocado onto your tortilla, top with your coleslaw salad, shrimp, cherry tomatoes and feta. Drizzle with additional dressing and garnish with a lime wedge.
