Air Fryer Garlic Butter Shrimp

Frozen shrimp - Keeping frozen shrimp in your freezer makes this recipe easy to make whenever you are craving some seafood. Be sure to let the shrimp completely thaw before cooking.

Butter (salted) - Butter is a key ingredient of this dish, so it is essential to use creamy, quality butter. I use Kerrygold butter because it is high quality and made with grass-fed milk.

Lemon or lime - Adds acidity to the dish giving the shrimp a depth of flavor.

Paprika (optional) - While optional, paprika adds a slightly spicy, smoky flavor that makes the shrimp tastier. It also gives the shrimp a beautiful deep red color.

Avocado oil spray - Use a healthy neutral oil like avocado oil spray to coat your air fryer before air frying. This will prevent the shrimp from sticking and help them cook evenly.

Fresh garlic or Minced garlic - Fresh garlic flavors the shrimp with that strong, iconic garlicky flavor. Garlic is also very healthy and known for its antioxidant and antiviral properties.

Garlic powder - Enhance the garlic flavor. You can skip this; however, I added it!

Knorr bullion (optional) - Adds more flavor to the shrimp.

Black pepper (add to taste)

Salt (you may only need a dash if using salted butter or skip it entirely). On the other hand, add salt to taste if not using salted butter.

Cilantro (optional) - Fresh herbs can be used as a garnish and give the dish a fresh taste. They help brighten up the garlic butter shrimp and make the dish taste lighter.
