Equipment

air fryer

Ingredients

1 tablespoon olive oil
1 pound peeled raw shrimp
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 teaspoons minced garlic
3 tablespoons butter
1/2 small lemon thinly sliced
1-2 sprigs fresh thyme
1 teaspoon chopped fresh parsley
1/4 cup white wine

Instructions

Line your air fryer basket with foil. If you have a large air fryer that uses a small baking sheet, line that with foil and make sure to use a sheet with edges to contain that scampi sauce.
Put the olive oil into the foil-lined tray. Put the shrimp on top of the oil and season with the salt. Sprinkle the garlic over the shrimp.
Slice the butter into several pats and put on top of the shrimp.
Lay the lemon slices over the top of all of it, and put the fresh thyme and parsley on top of that.
Pour the white wine in, and put the basked into the fryer.
Turn the air fryer to high. Ours goes to 390°. That’s where we cooked these at, but anywhere from 375°F to 400°F will work. Just adjust the cook time accordingly. Cook time will also vary based on how close together your shrimp are. Shrimp is fully cooked when the internal temperatures reaches 120°F (for ideal texture and to prevent dryness). The FDA recommends 145°F. You’ll have to decide where in that range you are comfortable.
Cook for 8-12 minutes, or until the shrimp reach that minimum internal temperature.
Remove and enjoy!
