Heat up your air fryer to 375°F.
Rinse the shrimps under lukewarm water. Take a paper towel and dry the shrimps until there's no left water. Peel and devein the shrimps. In a medium bowl, toss the shrimps with olive oil and smoked paprika. Use a few drops of olive oil to brush the air fryer basket.
Take half of the shrimps and put them in the air fryer for 7 minutes. Then repeat the same procedure with the other half. When the second half is ready, take the shrimps out and let them cool down.
Melt the butter, and mix with the cajun seasoning. Toss the cooked shrimps in the mixture. Arrange the dish in a large bowl and enjoy!

You can also melt the butter in the microwave. But make sure you don't use a plastic bowl, otherwise, it can melt.
Fresh shrimps are the perfect option, but frozen shrimps could be an alternative. In this case, rinse them twice, so that you remove all the dirt.
Deveining the shrimp is easy. Just use a paring knife and be careful not to cut your fingers.
