Peel and devein the shrimp. Then, rinse them under cold water and pat them dry with paper towels.
Preheat your air fryer to 400°F (200°C).
Add the shrimp, olive oil, Old Bay seasoning, and crushed garlic to a large bowl.
Thoroughly mix to coat the shrimp in the seasonings.
Arrange the seasoned shrimp in a single layer in your air fryer. You may need to cook them in batches depending on the size of your air fryer.
Air large shrimp at 400°F for 6-7 minutes or 7-8 minutes for extra large shrimp, or until fully cooked. The shrimp should be pink and opaque when done. Shake the air fryer basket halfway through so the shrimp cooks evenly.
Once done, serve the shrimp and garnish with lemon wedges for squeezing over the shrimp.

Cook Shrimp In Batches: You may need to cook the shrimp in batches, depending on the size of your air fryer basket, don't overcrowd.
Shake Halfway: Shake the air fryer basket halfway for even cooking.
Pat Dry: After rinsing the shrimp with cold water, pat them dry with paper towels. Ensure they are completely dry before seasoning them so the seasonings stick.
Extra Large Shrimp: If you have extra large shrimp, increase the cooking time by 1-2 minutes to ensure they are fully cooked.
Small Shrimp: If you don't have large shrimp, you can use small shrimp, but the cooking time will be slightly less.
Storage: Store leftover air fried shrimp in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 2-3 days. Reheat it in the oven or air fryer for a few minutes before serving again.
