Ingredients
  

Seafood
  • 12 ounces jumbo or large raw shrimp peeled
  • 2 tablespoons fresh parsley chopped
  • 4 sprigs thyme

  • 4 tablespoons orange juice
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 5 tablespoons butter melted

Method
 

Cooking Steps
  1. Melt the butter in a bowl suitable to hold the large shrimp.
  2. Mince the garlic and chop the herbs. Add the garlic and herbs to the butter along with the oil and orange juice. Mix well.
  3. Add the shrimp to the mixture in the bowl. Season with salt and pepper. Toss to coat well.
  4. Use a slotted spoon to transfer the shrimp from the butter mixture to the air fryer basket, reserving the butter mixture for later.
  5. Cook the shrimp for 8 minutes at 320 degrees. When the shrimp are halfway done (about 4 minutes left), add the butter mixture over the shrimp and continue cooking for the remaining 4 minutes.
  6. Transfer the shrimp to a bowl and pour the leftover butter mixture from the air fryer basket over the shrimp.
  7. Serve, garnish with lemon slices/wedges, and enjoy.
