How To Make Hibachi Shrimp In The Air Fryer

1. Preheat Air Fryer to 400F / 200C.
2. Place all the ingredients for the shrimp hibachi in a mixing bowl and make sure everything is fully combined.
3. Add half the mix into the air fryer basket and cook for 8-9 minutes, turning halfway through.
4. Remove and add the remaining shrimp mixture and cook for another 8-9 minutes.
5. Serve air fryer shrimp hibachi as is (low carb) or along with some yum yum sauce.

Recipe Tips

• If you start with frozen shrimp, make sure to thoroughly defrost and drain them before using.
• This recipe uses jumbo shrimp, not the smaller variety.
• If you have time, let the veggie and shrimp marinate in the hibachi marinade for about 30 minutes and up to 2 hours making sure to stir everything a couple of times.
• Try and make sure the veggie pieces are all the same size so they cook at the same rate. Use a sharp knife to slice them.

• Cook time depends on the shrimp as you don’t want to overcook these. So make sure you cut your veggies to a good size so that they cook in the allocated 8-9 minutes.
• Feel free to double or triple the recipe to serve a crowd. But you would need to cook this in more batches.

Recipe Variations

This version of Hibachi Shrimp is good as is. But if you want to then you can mix and match with different spices and veggies to suit your taste. Make sure if you are swapping veggies to only use quick cook veggies.

Other ingredients you can add include;

• Lime juice
• Lemon juice
• Mushrooms
• Shallots
• Green beans
• Red pepper flakes
