Ingredients
Scale
Shrimp Mixture
- 1 pound large shrimp, peeled and deveined
- 3 tablespoons melted butter
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1/3 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon dried parsley (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat the Air Fryer: Preheat your air fryer to 400°F (200°C) for about 3-5 minutes to ensure even cooking and crispy texture.
- Prepare the Shrimp: In a mixing bowl, combine the peeled and deveined shrimp with melted butter, minced garlic, grated Parmesan, salt, pepper, and dried parsley. Toss thoroughly to coat all the shrimp evenly with the mixture.
- Air Fry the Shrimp: Arrange the shrimp in a single layer in the air fryer basket, making sure not to overcrowd. Air fry at 400°F for 6-8 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through cooking to ensure even crisping. The shrimp should be opaque and lightly crispy on the edges when done.
- Serve: Carefully remove the shrimp from the air fryer and transfer to a serving plate. Optionally garnish with extra Parmesan or chopped parsley. Serve immediately as an appetizer or over pasta, salad, or rice for a delicious meal.
Notes
- Do not overcrowd the air fryer basket to allow proper air circulation for crispy shrimp.
- Use fresh or thawed shrimp for best results.
- Adjust garlic and parmesan amounts to taste for stronger or milder flavor.
- Serve with lemon wedges for an added burst of brightness.
