Method
- 1
Toss shrimp with melted butter, garlic, white wine, lemon juice, red pepper flakes, salt, and pepper.
- 2
Place in an oven-safe dish or foil pan that fits the air fryer.
- 3
Air fry at 400°F for 6-8 minutes, stirring once, until shrimp are pink and curled.
- 4
Garnish with parsley and lemon zest.
- 5
Serve over pasta or with crusty bread to soak up the sauce.
Pro tip. Don't overcook shrimp — they go from perfect to rubbery in about 60 seconds. They're done when they curl into a C shape; an O shape means overcooked. The pan juices become the sauce, so use good butter and wine.
Why the air fryer wins here
- Fast-moving hot air browns the outside before the inside dries out, so you get color without babysitting.
- Cleanup is a basket, not a sheet pan and a splattered stovetop.
Storing and reheating
Refrigerate perishable leftovers within 2 hours, or within 1 hour above 90°F. Reheat leftovers to 165°F (74°C) throughout, measured with a food thermometer. USDA leftover safety guidance.
Keep leftovers in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat in the air fryer at 350°F for 3-5 minutes rather than the microwave so the outside crisps back up. See the reheat guide for exact times by food.
