My son loves shrimp. It is the reason why I have so many shrimp recipes on my website. I like to change it up. Today I am bringing you a classic Italian sauce with some perfectly air-fried shrimp—Air Fryer Shrimp with Creamy Garlic Butter.
If you have not made shrimp in the air fryer, it’s a real game-changer. It comes out perfect every time. And to be honest, it is one of the simplest dinners you can make. I always keep a bag of shrimp in my freezer. It solves a lot of what’s for dinner. And at 10 minutes from start to finish, it really beats takeout or drive-thru.
Now, what I did with this recipe is I air-fried the shrimp and then in a small saucepan, I prepared the sauce. And then tossed the two together, and served over a plate of rice and air fried zucchini.
