Equipment

Ingredients

  • 12 raw shrimp medium-sized, deveined
  • 2 Tablespoons pesto

Instructions

  • Dry the shrimp on paper towels.
  • Add the shrimp and pesto to a large bowl. Toss gently until shrimp is coated in the pesto.
  • Add shrimp in a single layer to the air fryer. Cook at 400 degrees F for 6-8 minutes.

Notes

  • Depending on the size of your shrimp, you may need to cook slightly longer or shorter. For small shrimp, you may only need to cook 4-5 minutes.
  • If using frozen shrimp, make sure to thaw completely and dry on paper towels before adding the pesto.
  • You can use shrimp that already have the tails removed.
  • If using fresh shrimp, you may need to devein and clean before using. I used frozen, deveined shrimp for this recipe (that I thawed prior to using).
