Shrimp scampi is a classic Italian dish that is simple to make and bursting with flavor. The key to this dish is using fresh, high-quality shrimp and cooking them perfectly. Overcooked shrimp can become tough and rubbery, so it's important to cook them just until they are opaque and pink. This dish is typically served over pasta, but it can also be enjoyed with rice or roasted vegetables.

SHRIMP SCAMPI FROM 'EVERY DAY EASY AIR FRYER'
SHRIMP SCAMPI is excerpted from EVERY DAY EASY AIR FRYER © 2018 by Urvashi Pitre. Photography © 2018 by Ghazalle Badiozamani. Reproduced by permission of Houghton Mifflin Harcourt. All rights reserved. - This was the first dish I made in the air fryer that required using a pan to cook something in the basket. Once I tried this, I was hooked and other ideas for air fryer recipes started to come to me. What I like about this is that it's one dish, no splatters to clean up, fairly hands-free, and fast. Many of my readers have told me this is the best shrimp scampi they've ever had.

Steps:
- 1. Place a 7-inch round baking pan in the air-fryer basket. Set the air fryer to 325°F for 8 minutes (this will preheat the pan so the butter will melt faster).
- 2. Carefully remove the pan from the fryer and add the butter, lemon juice, garlic, and red pepper flakes. Place the pan back in the fryer.
- 3. Cook for 2 minutes, stirring once, until the butter has melted. (Do not skip this step; this is what infuses the butter with garlic flavor, which is what makes it all taste so good.).
- 4. Carefully remove the pan from the fryer and add the shrimp, broth, basil, and chives. Stir gently until the ingredients are well combined.
- 5. Return the pan to the air fryer and cook for 5 minutes, stirring once.
- 6. Thoroughly stir the shrimp mixture and let it rest for 1 minute on a wire rack. (This is so the shrimp cooks in the residual heat rather than getting overcooked and rubbery.).
- 7. Stir once more, sprinkle with additional chopped fresh basil, and serve.

QUICK AND EASY SHRIMP SCAMPI
I searched before posting and this recipe is like several other recipes as far as ingredients but the cooking method is a little different. I leave the tails on for an appetizer and remove the tails to serve with pasta. I like it with rice noodles but it's great with any pasta.
