Ingredients
1 pound large shrimp, peeled and deveined
1 tablespoon olive oil
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
3 cloves garlic, minced
1/4 cup honey
2 tablespoons soy sauce
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
1 teaspoon cornstarch
1 tablespoon water
1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley (for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat the air fryer to 400°F (200°C) for 5 minutes.
In a medium bowl, toss the shrimp with olive oil, salt, and black pepper until evenly coated.
Place the shrimp in a single layer in the air fryer basket. Cook for 6 to 8 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through, until the shrimp are pink and opaque.
While the shrimp cook, prepare the honey garlic sauce. In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine minced garlic, honey, soy sauce, and lemon juice. Stir and bring to a gentle simmer for 2 minutes.
In a small bowl, mix cornstarch and water until smooth. Add this slurry to the saucepan and cook, stirring constantly, until the sauce thickens, about 1 minute. Remove from heat.
Once the shrimp are cooked, transfer them to a large bowl. Pour the honey garlic sauce over the shrimp and toss to coat evenly.
Serve immediately, garnished with chopped fresh parsley.
