Just 8 minutes start to finish to make this delicious Air Fryer Keto Shrimp Scampi. It’s so simple to make, and so tasty, that you won’t believe it.
What Makes This Keto Shrimp Scampi So Great
What could I possibly say about Shrimp Scampi that hasn’t already been said before? Probably nothing. Except that this Keto Shrimp Scampi Recipe has no wine, lots of butter, garlic, and flavor, and I made it in an air fryer.
At this point, you’re probably asking yourself, how do I make shrimp scampi in an air fryer? In a pan, that’s how.
Of course, you could make this very same Keto Shrimp Scampi in an oven , or on the stovetop . You’d follow almost the same cooking directions, but I liked making this Shrimp Scampi in the air fryer for three reasons.
- It was super fast. Like 8 minutes fast. Just follow the exact order I list to get the most efficient workflow because yes, workflow in cooking is a thing.
- It didn’t heat up my whole kitchen.
- There were zero splatters anywhere on my kitchen counter.
So if you’re wondering if the world really needs YET ANOTHER Shrimp Scampi recipe , my answer is a resounding yes when it comes to this Keto Shrimp Scampi .
How To Make This Air Fryer Keto Shrimp Scampi
- Turn your air fryer to 330F. Place a 6 x 3 metal pan in it and allow it to start heating while you gather your ingredients. Place the butter, garlic, and red pepper flakes into the hot 6-inch pan .
- Allow it to cook for 2 minutes, stirring once, until the butter has melted. Do not skip this step. This is what infuses garlic into the butter, which is what makes it all taste so good. Open the air fryer , add all ingredients to the pan in the order listed, stirring gently.
- Allow shrimp to cook for 5 minutes, stirring once. At this point, the butter should be well-melted and liquid, bathing the shrimp in spiced goodness.
- Mix very well, remove the 6-inch pan using silicone mitts , and let it rest for 1 minute on the counter. You’re doing this so that you let the shrimp cook in the residual heat, rather than letting it accidentally overcook and get rubbery. Stir at the end of the minute. The shrimp should be well-cooked at this point.
Tips And Tricks For Making Keto Shrimp Scampi
- I know it may feel a little different to eat shrimp scampi without pasta, but that’s why we have zoodles and mashed cauliflower in this world.
- If carbs are not an issue, you can do pasta of course.
- If using frozen shrimp, you will need to cook for longer. I haven’t tried it with frozen shrimp, so unfortunately I can’t tell you how much longer. If you figure out the exact cook time, make sure to let me know in the comments!
- If you’re allergic to shrimp, you could try with bite-size chicken pieces, and check at the end of the cooking period to see if it needs longer.
- To make this vegetarian , you could make the same sauce and mix it with drained, canned chickpeas. You could also try lightly steamed cauliflower or broccoli in this sauce.

Can You Cook Frozen Shrimp In The Air Fryer?
You absolutely can cook frozen shrimp in the air fryer. If using frozen shrimp, you will need to cook for longer. I haven’t tried it with frozen shrimp, so unfortunately I can’t tell you how much longer.
One thing I would suggest is to defrost them under running warm water for a couple of minutes before cooking to follow the recipe exactly.
Is Shrimp OK For Keto?
Shrimp is actually fantastic for living a keto lifestyle! For a single serving size of 9 shrimp , there are only 3 grams of carbs.
They’re so low carb that it’s one of my favorite proteins to enjoy when trying to keep within my macros.

What Is A Korean Taco?
A fusion Korean taco is the best way to enjoy international cuisine in a convenient taco form! It combines culinary traditions and foods from different countries into one delicious dish. In these Korean Tacos, I’m combining the delicious flavors of, you guessed it, Korean food and Mexican food , to make you some of the best tacos you’ve ever had.
Is Gochujang Really Spicy?
Gochujang has got to be one of my favorite things to cook with. I love the spicy, sweet, umami flavors in it. It’s a deliciously fermented red chili paste and is easily one of my favorite condiments .
I don’t think it’s too awfully spicy, but I like my food hot. I’d be lying to you if I said that it didn’t have some kick to it, but the kick is well worth the flavor! The flavor of Gochujang is very pungent and unlike anything else, and I highly recommend that you try it even if you’re not typically a spicy food kind of person. And these Korean Tacos are the perfect way to try Gochujang for the first time!
Ingredients You’ll Need
- Gochujang - A Korean chili paste that delivers deep, spicy-sweet flavor with umami richness; the signature element of the dish.
- Dark Soy Sauce - Adds salty depth, umami, and a touch of caramel-like sweetness.
- Minced Garlic - Provides savory aroma and bold flavor, balancing the sweetness of the marinade.
- Minced Ginger - Adds warmth and a zesty, slightly spicy note that complements the beef.
- Sugar or Other Sweetener - Balances the spice and enhances the caramelization of the beef during cooking.
- Sesame Oil - Nutty and fragrant, it gives the beef a distinctive Korean flavor.
- Sesame Seeds - Add a crunchy garnish and nutty undertone to the final dish.
- Salt - Enhances and balances all the flavors in the marinade and beef.
- Sirloin Beef - The star protein of the tacos; tender, juicy, and perfect for soaking up the flavorful marinade. Cuts like chuck, ribeye, or sirloin all work well.
- Onion - Adds sweetness and texture, while cooking alongside the beef to deepen the flavor of the dish.
- Flour Tortillas - Soft shells that hold the filling, making it a fusion-style Korean-Mexican taco.
- Green Scallions - Provide sharpness and freshness, balancing the richness of the beef.
- Kimchi - Fermented and tangy, it adds a traditional Korean kick with probiotics and spice.
- Cilantro - Offers a fresh, herbal note that brightens the tacos and enhances the fusion flavors.
How To Make Korean Beef Tacos
These Korean Beef Tacos are incredibly easy to make. All you have to do is prepare the marinade, allow it to rest, and air fry!
Here are the step by step instructions:
- Whisk . Mix together the gochujang , soy sauce, minced garlic, minced ginger, sugar, sesame oil, sesame seeds, and salt.
- Bag it. Place sliced beef, sliced onions, and green onions into a plastic zip-top bag . Add gochujang, soy sauce, ginger, garlic, sweetener, sesame oil, and sesame seeds. Massage the bag to get the meat and sauce to incorporate well.
- Marinate. Allow the beef to marinate for 30 minutes or up to 24 hours in the refrigerator.
- Air Fry. Place the meat and veggies into the air fryer basket. Set air fryer to 400°F for 12 minutes, shaking halfway through.
- Serve. To serve, place a little meat in the tortillas, top with green onions, cilantro and kimchi if used, and serve with lots of napkins for this messy, but very satisfying meal.

Making Korean beef tacos at home is easy and flavorful, but a few tips and tricks will help you get the best texture and taste every time:
