Air Fryer Seafood Boil

There is nothing better for quick lunch or dinner than a traditional Air Fryer Seafood Boil. Today, I added shrimp, lobster, and corn cooked up in a traditional butter sauce.

There is nothing better than a one-basket meal, and clean-up was a breeze. Of course, you really can not go wrong with fresh seafood for dinner; this made for a great and easy Air Fryer Seafood Boil.

While traditionally you would either bake, grill, or steam this dinner, I used the air fryer, and with no oil, I got everything to cook up to perfection.
