Pat the shrimp completely dry with paper towels. This is crucial for getting a good sear.

In a large bowl, whisk together olive oil, minced garlic, juice of half a lemon, smoked paprika, oregano, salt, and pepper.

Add the dry shrimp to the marinade and toss to coat. Let marinate for 15-30 minutes at room temperature.

Preheat your air fryer to 400°F (200°C) for 5 minutes. If using wooden skewers, soak them in water now.

Thread 4-5 shrimp onto each skewer, leaving a small space between each one.

Arrange the skewers in a single layer in the air fryer basket. Cook in batches if needed to avoid overcrowding.

Air fry at 400°F for 4-5 minutes, then use tongs to flip the skewers.

Cook for another 3-4 minutes, or until the shrimp are pink, opaque, and cooked through.

Remove from the air fryer, squeeze the remaining lemon juice over them, and garnish with lemon zest and fresh parsley before serving.
