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.

Ingredients

1 pound baby red potatoes
¼ cup water
8 ounces Cajun-style andouille sausage, sliced
1 ear corn, sliced in half lengthwise and cut into 2-inch pieces
1 medium onion, sliced into petals
4 tablespoons olive oil, divided
3 teaspoons seafood seasoning (such as Old Bay®), divided
1 pound raw large shrimp, peeled and deveined
1 lemon, cut into wedges

Steps:

Preheat the air fryer to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
Place potatoes in a microwave-safe bowl. Add water and microwave on high for 5 minutes. Run the bowl under cold water until potatoes are cool enough to touch.
Slice potatoes in half lengthwise and place in a large bowl. Add sausage, corn, and onion. Mix in 3 tablespoons olive oil and 2 teaspoons seafood seasoning; stir to coat.
Place shrimp in a separate bowl and add remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil and 1 teaspoon seafood seasoning; stir to coat.
Place 1/2 of the potato mixture in the basket of the air fryer and cook for 10 minutes. Stir and cook for another 5 minutes. Add 1/2 of the shrimp and cook until potatoes are tender, sausage is cooked through, and shrimp are bright pink on the outside and meat is opaque, about 5 more minutes. Transfer to a serving plate and repeat with remaining potato mixture and shrimp. Serve with lemon wedges.

Ingredients

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 lemon zest, shrimp, thyme, garlic, bay leaf, 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper in a cake pan and toss to combine. Spread the mixture out in the pan and dot the butter on top. Cover the pan tightly with aluminum foil.
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.
Discard the lemon zest, bay leaf and thyme from the shrimp mixture. Drain the pasta and return it to the pot. Pour the shrimp mixture over the pasta. Add the parsley and olive oil, squeeze in the juice from the reserved lemon half and toss to combine. Serve with lemon wedges.
