Equipment

Ingredients
  

  • 1 lb shrimps: frozen, thawed or fresh
  • 1 large fresh garlic clove minced substitute with garlic powder if desired
  • 30 g unsalted butter cut into small cubes
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • cooking oil spay the amount used is insignificant and you can do without it but I like to spray some oil on the shrimp for a good measure.
  • ½ lemon juice
  • 1 tablespoon parsley chopped to garnish.

Instructions
 

  • Clean the shrimps: devein and deshell if desired. Transfer the shrimps to an oven safe dish that would fit into your air fryer basket
  • Season with salt, pepper shrimps, spray with a little cooking oil and stir to combine. Add butter cubes to the shrimps then place the dish in the air fryer basket.
  • Cook for 8 to 10 minutes on 200C/400F. There is no need to flip the shrimp hallway through but I do this for a good measure.
  • Remove from the air fryer, add some chopped parsley and squeeze some lemon juice on the shrimps if desired. Stir to combine. Serve and enjoy!

Notes

How to store
Any leftover shrimps can be stored in the fridge for up to 3 days in an airtight container. Make sure that it cools completely before storing.
To reheat: if using with salad then let the shrimps come to room temperature and serve. If using hot, then warm in the air fryer at 180C/360F for 1 to 2 minutes.
