Instructions

Air Fryer Shrimp

Step 1

If using frozen shrimp, rinse with water to remove any ice. Place in a large bowl and add all ingredients. Toss together. Place in air fryer and cook for 8 minutes at 400 degrees F.

Step 2

Notes: 1. Every air fryer is different. This time and temperature worked well for my particular air fryer and type of shrimp I was using. 2. If using thawed shrimp then decrease cooking time by 2-3 minutes.

Gochujang Pasta

Step 3

Cook pasta to al dente according to package instructions in salted water. Reserve about 1 cup of pasta water.

Step 4

Meanwhile, heat olive oil in a large high rimmed sauté pan over medium heat. Add sliced garlic and the sliced light green bottom section of the green onion. Cook for 2-3 minutes stirring often so they don't burn.

Step 5

Add gochujang and stir to combine. Cook for 3-5 minutes until the gochujang caramelizes. Pour in white wine to deglaze the pan. Scrape the bottom of the pan with a wooden spoon to release any stuck bits. Cook for a few minutes until the liquid is mostly absorbed. Optionally add red pepper flakes and stir to combine.

Step 6

Turn heat to low. Pour in milk and stir to combine. Simmer for another 2-3 minutes. Add cooked linguine and butter. Stir until everything is combined well and the butter is melted. Add reserved pasta water as needed until the sauce reaches your desired consistency.

Step 7

Mix in air fryer shrimp. Serve immediately with freshly grated parmesan cheese and the sliced dark green top section of the green onion.
