Air Fryer Keto Shrimp Scampi

Ingredients

  • 4 tablespoons Butter
  • 1 tablespoon Lemon Juice
  • 1 tablespoon Minced Garlic
  • 2 teaspoons Red Pepper Flakes
  • 1 tablespoon chopped chives, or 1 teaspoon dried chives
  • 1 tablespoon chopped fresh basil, or 1 teaspoon dried basil
  • 2 tablespoon Chicken Stock, (or white wine)
  • 1 lb (453.59 g) Raw Shrimp, (21-25 count)

Instructions

  • Turn your air fryer to 330F. Place a 6 x 3 metal pan in it and allow it to start heating while you gather your ingredients.
  • Place the butter, garlic, and red pepper flakes into the hot 6-inch pan.
  • Allow it to cook for 2 minutes, stirring once, until the butter has melted. Do not skip this step. This is what infuses garlic into the butter, which is what makes it all taste so good.
  • Open the air fryer, add butter, lemon juice,, minced garlic, red pepper flakes, chives, basil, chicken stock, and shrimp to the pan in the order listed, stirring gently.
  • Allow shrimp to cook for 5 minutes, stirring once. At this point, the butter should be well-melted and liquid, bathing the shrimp in spiced goodness.
  • Mix very well, remove the 6-inch pan using silicone mitts, and let it rest for 1 minute on the counter. You’re doing this so that you let the shrimp cook in the residual heat, rather than letting it accidentally overcook and get rubbery.
  • Stir at the end of the minute. The shrimp should be well-cooked at this point.
  • Sprinkle additional fresh basil leaves and enjoy.
