Air Fryer Garlic Butter Shrimp with Zucchini Noodles
Equipment
- Air Fryer
- Spiralizer
- Mixing Bowl
Ingredients
- 1 pound large shrimp, peeled and deveined
- 4 medium zucchinis, spiralized into noodles
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
Instructions
- Pat the shrimp dry with paper towels. In a bowl, stir together the melted butter, minced garlic, paprika, salt, and pepper.
- Toss the shrimp in half of the garlic butter mixture until evenly coated. Place the shrimp in a single layer in the air fryer basket.
- Air fry the shrimp at 400 degrees F for 6 to 8 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through, until the shrimp turn pink and slightly crisp at the edges.
- While the shrimp cook, place the zucchini noodles in a large bowl. Drizzle them with the lemon juice and the remaining garlic butter mixture, then toss gently to coat.
- Divide the zucchini noodles among four plates. Top each portion with the cooked shrimp and sprinkle with the chopped parsley before serving.
Notes
Use medium zucchinis so the noodles do not release too much water. If your air fryer runs hot, check the shrimp at the six-minute mark to avoid overcooking. Leftovers keep in the fridge for one day. Reheat the shrimp briefly in the air fryer for one minute to bring back some crispness while warming the noodles gently on the stovetop.
