Run 1 pound peeled and deveined shrimp under cold water and then pat it dry with a paper towel.
Mix together 1 pound shrimp, 2 teaspoons olive oil, ¼ teaspoon garlic powder, ¼ teaspoon paprika, ½ teaspoon Italian seasoning, ¼ teaspoon salt, and ¼ teaspoon pepper in a medium size bowl.
Preheat the air fryer to 400 degrees F. Note: If your air fryer does not have a preheat option, then run it on 400 degrees F for 5 minutes.
Then place the shrimp in a single layer in the air fryer basket (you may have to cook in batches depending on the size of your air fryer).
