Ingredients
- 1 pound shrimp, peeled and de-veined
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter
- 2 cloves garlic, minced, about 1 teaspoon
Instructions

After removing the shells, rinse the shrimp and pat them dry. Place them in a large bowl, and set aside.
-
In a small microwave safe bowl, combine the butter and minced garlic, and microwave for about 30 seconds, until the butter has melted.
-
Pour the butter and garlic mixture over the shrimp, and stir together, coating the shrimp with the mixture.
-
Pour the shrimp into the basket, leaving enough room between them so they aren’t stacked.
-
Air fry at 370 degrees Fahrenheit for 6-8 minutes, tossing halfway through.

-
To determine doneness, the base of the shrimp tail will be an opaque color, and no longer translucent.
Notes
Serve with melted butter or cocktail sauce, or on top of your favorite pasta.
Don’t overfill the basket. This can block air flow and cause uneven cooking.
