Notes
Storage: Store leftover shrimp skewers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Reheat in the air fryer at 350°F for 2-3 minutes to restore crispiness. Make-Ahead Tip: You can marinate the shrimp and thread them onto skewers up to 24 hours in advance; store covered in the refrigerator until ready to cook. Substitutions: For a dairy-free version, use olive oil or ghee instead of butter. Serving Suggestions: Serve over a bed of cauliflower rice or zucchini noodles for a complete keto meal. You can also add a squeeze of fresh lemon juice over the finished shrimp for a bright finish.
