Servings: 4 people
Ingredients
Air Fryer Shrimp
- 1 lb Shrimp I used frozen raw Argentinian Red Shrimp from Trader Joe's
- 1 tablespoon Avocado Oil or other neutral oil
- 2 teaspoon Lemon Juice
- 1/2 teaspoon White Pepper can use black pepper
- 1 teaspoon Garlic Powder
- 1 teaspoon Spicy Seasoned Salt I used Momofuku Spicy Seasoned Salt; can substitute regular salt but add additional seasoning such as cayenne as desired
Gochujang Pasta
- 1 lb Linguine reserve 1 cup of pasta water
- 1 tablespoon Extra Virgin Olive Oil
- 6 cloves Garlic thinly sliced
- 4 Green Onion sliced; divide dark top section to serve and lighter bottom section to cook in sauce
- 2 tablespoon Gochujang Paste more or less to taste
- 1/2 cup Dry White Wine
- 1/2 teaspoon Red Pepper Flakes optional; adjust to taste
- 1/2 cup Whole Milk use half and half or heavy cream for a creamier sauce
- 1 tablespoon Unsalted Butter
- 1/4 cup Parmesan Cheese freshly grated to serve
Instructions
Air Fryer Shrimp
- 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.
- 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
- Cook pasta to al dente according to package instructions in salted water. Reserve about 1 cup of pasta water.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- Mix in air fryer shrimp. Serve immediately with freshly grated parmesan cheese and the sliced dark green top section of the green onion.
