What is Baked Shrimp Scampi?

This is an amazing shrimp dish, made with shrimp, butter, garlic, and then cheese, and it’s baked all together like a casserole.

The iconic part about a baked shrimp scampi is the topping, which is either panko or bread crumbs, baked until crisped up.

Today, I made this dish in the air fryer, and it was amazing. The shrimp was tender, while the coating was crispy and buttery!

How To Make Air Fryer Baked Shrimp Scampi

Start by mixing the shrimp, olive oil, lemon juice, salt, and pepper in a small mixing bowl. Then layer the shrimp in a casserole dish.

Then, mix the melted butter, garlic, shallots, Italian seasoning, egg yolk, and panko in another mixing bowl. Mix well until all of the panko is incorporated into the mixture.

Then spread the panko topping on to the layered shrimp.

Set the casserole dish into the air fryer, at 330 degrees F, (air fryer setting) for 5 minutes.

Some Pro Tips:

• If you want to use frozen shrimp, add about 2 to 4 minutes to the cooking time.
• You could easily make this vegan by substituting the butter for vegan butter.
• A thin casserole dish will work best for this; you do not want to use anything too thick. Otherwise, the inside will be raw.
• Season with any fresh herbs right before serving for a great fresh taste.
• You can easily substitute panko for bread crumbs (Italian Seasoned is my recommendation)

How To Store Leftover Baked Shrimp:

If you have any Air Fryer Baked Shrimp Scampi leftover, let it cool to room temperature and then place it into the refrigerator.

It will last between 2 to 3 days.

Can You Cook Frozen Shrimp in The Aur Fryer?

Is Shrimp Ok For KETO?

Shrimp is a great food to eat if you are doing KETO or low-carb since there are very few carbs in either shrimp or seafood.

Shrimp only has .2 grams of carbohydrates in 100 grams of cooked shrimp. It’s a great option if you are following a KETO Friendly diet.

What Goes Well With Shrimp Scampi?

I usually serve this with a either a huge garden salad or Greek Salad.
