Instructions

Step 1

In a small saucepan, melt the butter and add the garlic for 1-2 minutes then stir in the Dijon, lemon juice, salt and pepper. Place frozen shrimp in the air fryer basket and cook at 375°F for 6 minutes. If you use larger shrimp than the 51/70 I used you may need to cook longer but go in increments of 30 seconds to 1 minute. You don't want to overcook your shrimp. Toss the cooked shrimp with the sauce and serve with chopped chives. Delicious!
