Pesto Shrimp Cocktail In the Air Fryer

Ingredients

• 1 pound (454 g) raw shrimp , peeled de-veined,
• Vegetable oil or spray , to coat shrimp
• 1/4 teaspoon (1.25 ml) garlic powder
• Salt , to taste
• Black pepper , to taste
• 1/2 cup basil pesto
• Cut vegetables, crackers or cheese for serving , optional

Equipment

• Air Fryer

Instructions 

1. In a bowl add the shrimp, garlic powder, salt and pepper and toss to coat all of the shrimp evenly. Add shrimp to air fryer basket in a single layer.
2. Air fry at 400°F for about 8-14 minutes (depending on the size of your shrimp), gently shaking and flipping halfway.
3. Serve the cooked shrimp with the pesto and additional vegetables, cheese or other ingredients.

If your air fryer is preheated or if you are cooking multiple batches, you may need to reduce timing by a few minutes (unless preheating is called for in the recipe).
