Instructions
Easy lemon herb aioli
- Combine the mayonnaise, lemon zest, parsley, chives, garlic clove, Dijon mustard, salt, and pepper in a small bowl.
- Cover and let it sit in the fridge for at least 15 minutes to allow the flavors to develop.
BBQ shrimp
- In a large bowl, sprinkle the shrimp with chili powder, smoked paprika powder, onion powder, garlic powder, salt, and pepper, and toss to coat.
- Heat the olive oil in a heavy grill pan over medium-high heat and add the shrimp (cook in two batches if necessary, to avoid crowding the pan).
- Cook for 2-3 minutes on each side, depending on the size of your shrimp, until cooked through and slightly blackened on the outside.
Serving
- Lay shrimp on a bed of spinach, cucumber ribbons, and cherry tomatoes on a serving platter and top with your cooked shrimp.
- Garnish with lemon wedges, chili flakes, and some fresh parsley.
- Serve with a generous dollop of Easy lemon herb aioli
Tip
The aioli can be made in advance and will store well in the fridge for up to one week.

Preheat the air fryer to 375°F (190°C). Lightly spray the air fryer basket with coconut oil or line it with parchment paper.
