AIR FRYER SHRIMP "BOIL"



Air Fryer Shrimp

All the flavors you love in a shrimp boil in a fraction of the time and with a lot less mess. No need to wait for a pot of water to boil just to stand over it making sure it doesn't boil over. Air fryer to the rescue! While this is a less messy version, the way I chose to cut the corn still lets you dig in and get your hands messy for that authentic touch. The cob creates a perfect handle for holding while the kernels face upright for easy access.

1 medium onion, sliced into petals

Kosher salt
1 lemon
1 pound shrimp (16/20 count), peeled, deveined, tails on
5 sprigs fresh thyme
3 cloves garlic, thinly sliced
1 dried bay leaf
Freshly cracked black pepper
1 stick (8 tablespoons) unsalted butter, cut into tablespoon pieces
12 ounces campanelle pasta
1/2 cup finely chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil

Steps:

  • Preheat a 6-quart air fryer to 375 degrees F. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil.
  • Zest the lemon in strips using a peeler, making sure to avoid the white pith. Cut the lemon in half, then cut one half into wedges for serving. Reserve the other half for squeezing.

  • Put the cake pan in the air fryer and cook until the butter is bubbling and the shrimp are opaque, 10 to 12 minutes. While the shrimp cook, boil the pasta according to the package instructions.
