Air Fryer Shrimp Scampi Recipes

Steps:

• 1. Place a 7-inch round baking pan in the air-fryer basket. Set the air fryer to 325°F for 8 minutes (this will preheat the pan so the butter will melt faster).
• 2. Carefully remove the pan from the fryer and add the butter, lemon juice, garlic, and red pepper flakes. Place the pan back in the fryer.
• 3. Cook for 2 minutes, stirring once, until the butter has melted. (Do not skip this step; this is what infuses the butter with garlic flavor, which is what makes it all taste so good.).
• 4. Carefully remove the pan from the fryer and add the shrimp, broth, basil, and chives. Stir gently until the ingredients are well combined.
• 5. Return the pan to the air fryer and cook for 5 minutes, stirring once.
• 6. Thoroughly stir the shrimp mixture and let it rest for 1 minute on a wire rack. (This is so the shrimp cooks in the residual heat rather than getting overcooked and rubbery.).
• 7. Stir once more, sprinkle with additional chopped fresh basil, and serve.

Steps:

• Preheat a 6-quart air fryer to 375 degrees F. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil.
• Zest the lemon in strips using a peeler, making sure to avoid the white pith. Cut the lemon in half, then cut one half into wedges for serving. Reserve the other half for squeezing.
• Put the lemon zest, shrimp, thyme, garlic, bay leaf, 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper in a cake pan and toss to combine. Spread the mixture out in the pan and dot the butter on top. Cover the pan tightly with aluminum foil.
• Put the cake pan in the air fryer and cook until the butter is bubbling and the shrimp are opaque, 10 to 12 minutes. While the shrimp cook, boil the pasta according to the package instructions.
• Discard the lemon zest, bay leaf and thyme from the shrimp mixture. Drain the pasta and return it to the pot. Pour the shrimp mixture over the pasta. Add the parsley and olive oil, squeeze in the juice from the reserved lemon half and toss to combine. Serve with lemon wedges.

Steps:

• For the fried shrimp: Spray the basket of a 3.5-quart air fryer with cooking spray and set aside. Pat the shrimp dry between a couple paper towels, then season with a pinch of salt and a few grinds of black pepper.
• Whisk the flour with 3/4 teaspoon salt and few grinds of pepper in a shallow bowl or baking dish. Whisk the eggs with a pinch of salt in another shallow bowl. Add the panko to a third shallow bowl. Dip a shrimp in the seasoned flour, shaking off any excess, then dip in the beaten eggs. Dredge in the panko, turning until evenly coated. Transfer to a large plate or a rimmed baking sheet and repeat with the remaining shrimp.
• Preheat the air fryer to 385 degrees F. Working in batches, place some of the shrimp in a single layer in the fryer basket, then spray lightly with more cooking spray. Cook until the shrimp are golden brown and cooked through, flipping halfway through, about 10 minutes.
• For the spicy remoulade sauce: Meanwhile, stir together the mayonnaise, pickled jalapenos, mustard, ketchup, hot sauce and scallion in a small bowl until smooth. Serve with the fried shrimp for dipping.

Steps:

• Preheat an air fryer to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
• Place flour, Old Bay®, paprika, salt, parsley, and black pepper in a gallon-sized resealable plastic bag. Zip and shake to combine.

• Spray the tops with nonstick cooking and cook for 4 minutes. Open the basket and spray any chalky spots with nonstick cooking spray. Cook for 3 minutes more or until desired crispness. Serve immediately.
