Ingredients:

  • 1 pound (454g) frozen shrimp, peeled and deveined
  • 2 tablespoons (30ml) olive oil
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/4 cup (60ml) dry white wine or chicken broth
  • 4 tablespoons (57g) unsalted butter, cut into small cubes
  • 2 tablespoons (30ml) lemon juice, freshly squeezed
  • 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)
  • 1/4 cup (15g) fresh parsley, chopped
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste

Instructions:

  1. Ensure shrimp is loosely frozen. Place the shrimp in a bowl of cold water and defrost for 3-4 minutes.
  2. Pat the defrosted shrimp dry with paper towels. In a small bowl, toss shrimp with olive oil, salt, and pepper.
  3. Preheat air fryer to 400°F (200°C) if required by the model. Arrange shrimp in a single layer in the air fryer basket, being careful not to overcrowd.
  4. Air fry for 4 minutes. Flip the shrimp and continue cooking for 4-6 minutes, or until pink and opaque. Don't overcook!
  5. While shrimp is cooking, melt butter in a skillet. Add garlic and sauté until fragrant (about 1 minute).
  6. Stir in white wine (or chicken broth) and lemon juice. Bring to a simmer and cook for 2 minutes, or until slightly reduced.
  7. Add cooked shrimp to the skillet with the sauce. Toss to coat.
  8. Stir in parsley and red pepper flakes (if using). Serve immediately.
