Ingredients

Instructions

  1. 1. Preheat the air fryer to 180 °C. This takes about 3 minutes and ensures crispy results.
  2. 2. Pat 300 g of shrimp dry with paper towels. Never wash them, as this makes them mushy.
  3. 3. Remove the shells from the shrimp. Leave the tail on as a handle.
  4. 4. Finely chop 3 cloves of garlic. This evenly distributes the flavour.
  5. 5. Melt 50 g of butter in a small saucepan over medium heat. Don't let it brown.
  6. 6. Add the chopped garlic to the melted butter. Sauté it for 1 minute, until fragrant.
  7. 7. Remove the saucepan from the heat. Stir in 2 tablespoons of parsley and the lemon juice.
  8. 8. Place the shrimp in a large bowl. Pour the warm garlic butter over them.
  9. 9. Season with 1 teaspoon of salt and 1 teaspoon of pepper. Mix well until each shrimp is coated.
  10. 10. Arrange the shrimp in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Don't stack them.
  11. 11. Place the baking sheet in the preheated air fryer. Cook the shrimp at 180 °C for 8 minutes, until golden brown.
  12. 12. Flip the shrimp halfway through the cooking time. This ensures they cook evenly on both sides.
  13. 13. Check the cooking time after 8 minutes. The shrimp are ready when they are firm and opaque pink.
  14. 14. Carefully remove the baking sheet from the air fryer. Let them rest for 2 minutes to redistribute the juices.
  15. 15. Serve the shrimp immediately on plates. They are best when warm and fragrant.
