Ingredients

  • 1 lb large shrimp peeled and deveined, tails on or off
  • 1 head cauliflower cut into 1-inch florets
  • 3 tbsp olive oil divided

  • 1 tbsp paprika

  • 0.25 tsp black pepper

Notes

Storage: Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Reheat in the air fryer at 350°F for 3-4 minutes to restore crispiness. Make-Ahead: You can prep the shrimp and cauliflower with the spice mixture up to 4 hours ahead and refrigerate. Variations: Add a pinch of red pepper flakes for heat. Serve over couscous or with a side of tzatziki sauce. For a vegetarian version, substitute shrimp with extra-firm tofu cubes.
