Air Fryer Scott & Jon’s Shrimp Scampi Bowl

Why You’ll Love It

This zesty bowl features tender shrimp, garlicky herb butter sauce, and linguine pasta that satisfies your craving without the heaviness of a restaurant scampi.

Ingredients

• 1 frozen Scott & Jon’s Shrimp Scampi Bowl (do not thaw)

• Optional toppings: grated Parmesan, lemon zest, fresh parsley

• Optional side ideas: garlic toast, roasted asparagus, mixed greens

Step-by-Step Instructions

Preheat the Air Fryer

Preheat your air fryer to 360°F for 3–5 minutes.

Prepare the Bowl

• Remove bowl from the box.

• Keep the plastic film on, and poke 2–3 small holes in the top for venting.

Air Fry

• Place the bowl directly into the air fryer basket.

• Cook at 360°F for 13–16 minutes.

• At the 8-minute mark, peel back the film carefully, stir the pasta and shrimp, then loosely re-cover with the film.

• Resume cooking for the remaining time, until sauce is bubbling and shrimp are pink and firm.

Check for Doneness

• Pasta should be hot and soft, but not mushy.

• Shrimp should be fully pink and tender.

• The butter garlic sauce should be melted and lightly coating all ingredients.

• Internal temperature should reach 165°F.

• Let sit for 1–2 minutes before eating.

Pro Tips

• Add a squeeze of fresh lemon juice after air frying for a burst of brightness.

• Top with a bit of crushed red pepper flakes for subtle heat.

• Want a bigger portion? Add extra shrimp halfway through cooking.
