Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Air Fryer Garlic Butter Shrimp.
Step 1
Start by preheating your air fryer to a sizzling 400°F (200°C) for about five minutes.
Step 2
While it warms up, take a moment to separate any frozen shrimp that may be stuck together, gently using a spoon to remove any pesky ice crystals.
Step 3
Once your air fryer is ready, arrange half of the shrimp in a single layer in the basket, ensuring they have a little space to breathe, and cook them for four minutes.
Step 4
Meanwhile, in a small bowl, combine melted butter with seafood seasoning and a dash of cayenne pepper, mixing until everything is beautifully blended.
Step 5
When the timer goes off, carefully brush the shrimp with your flavorful seasoned butter, flip them over, and give the other side a good brush as well.
Step 6
Pop them back into the air fryer for another three to four minutes, or until they turn a lovely bright pink and are perfectly opaque.
Step 7
Once you’ve finished with the first batch, repeat the process with the remaining shrimp.
Step 8
For a delightful finishing touch, garnish your shrimp with freshly chopped parsley and serve them alongside lemon wedges for that extra zing.
Step 9
Enjoy your deliciously seasoned air-fried shrimp!.
