Instructions

The Lemon Basil Shrimp

• Preheat  air fryer to 400°F (200°C).
• In a bowl, toss together the shrimp, spices, lemon juice and olive oil. Let it set for 5 - 10 minutes. (Longer also works if you prepare ahead of time.)
  
• Add shrimp in the fry basket and cook for 10 minutes. 
  
• Transfer the shrimp to a serving bowl and keep warm.
  

French Fries (prepare at the same time, but begin before shrimp.)

• Use french fry cutter to cut the fires.
  
• Soak raw cut fires in water for 30 minutes.

• Drain potatoes and toss with 1 tbsp of olive oil and add to air fryer.
  
• Fry at 400 F for 20-30 minutes, checking every 7 minutes for 'doneness.' We like our fries really done and crispy, so we go for longer at high temps.

Serve Shrimp and Fries

• Place Shrimp and Fries in bowls
• Serve

Notes
