Garlic-Butter Bliss Shrimp Plate

Savor juicy garlic-butter shrimp paired with crisp asparagus and golden baby potatoes, all cooked to perfection in your air fryer for a delightful weeknight meal.

Ingredients

  • 1 lb large shrimp, peeled and deveined
  • 2 tbsp unsalted butter, melted
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 lb baby potatoes, halved
  • 1 bunch asparagus, trimmed
  • 1 tsp olive oil
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Lemon wedges for serving
  • Chopped parsley for garnish

Method

  1. 1

    Preheat the air fryer to 200°C (400°F).

  2. 2

    In a bowl, toss the halved baby potatoes with 1 tbsp of melted butter, salt, and pepper. Place them in the air fryer basket and cook for 15 minutes.

  3. 3

    After 15 minutes, shake the basket to ensure even cooking, then add the asparagus to the basket alongside the potatoes. Cook for an additional 5 minutes.

  4. 4

    While the vegetables are cooking, in another bowl, combine shrimp, remaining melted butter, minced garlic, salt, and pepper. Mix well to coat the shrimp.

  5. 5

    After the 5 minutes are up, push the asparagus and potatoes to one side and add the garlic-butter shrimp to the other side of the basket. Cook for an additional 6 minutes, shaking halfway through.

  6. 6

    Once done, let the shrimp rest for 2 minutes. Squeeze fresh lemon juice over all contents in the basket for added flavor.

  7. 7

    To plate, arrange the shrimp on one side, the asparagus on the other, and fill the middle with the baby potatoes. Garnish with chopped parsley and serve with lemon wedges.

Swaps & variations

  • Use broccoli instead of asparagus
  • Swap shrimp for chicken breast
  • Use sweet potatoes instead of baby potatoes
