Air Fryer Shrimp Hibachi Dinner
Description
The recipe combines peeled, deveined shrimp with yellow squash or zucchini, green bell pepper, and mushrooms. Tossing these with tamari soy sauce, olive oil, sesame oil, minced garlic, and ginger ensures each ingredient absorbs a balanced hibachi-style marinade. Cooking half the mixture at a time in the air fryer at 400°F results in crisp edges on vegetables and shrimp cooked through but not overdone.
The final dish has contrasting textures — tender shrimp and firm, caramelized vegetables — accompanied optionally by a tangy and creamy Easy Yum Yum Sauce. It can be served as a standalone low-carb meal or paired with sides for additional volume.
Proper thawing and draining of frozen shrimp prevent excess moisture. Marinating up to two hours enhances flavor. Uniform vegetable cutting ensures even cooking within the time frame. Leftovers store refrigerated in an airtight container for up to four days and reheat well.
Ingredients
- 1 pound Shrimp peeled and deveined (and defrosted if using frozen, 450g
- 1 pound yellow squash or zucchini, cut into quarter-inch pieces, 450g
- 1 green bell pepper deseeded and sliced
- 1 pound mushrooms halved or quartered, if large
- 4 tablespoons tamari soy sauce or regular soy sauce, if not gluten free
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 teaspoons sesame oil
- 1 teaspoons garlic minced
- 1 teaspoons ginger minced
- Serve with Easy Yum Yum Sauce (optional, but highly recommended)
Instructions
- Preheat air fryer to 400 degrees F / 200 degrees C.
- Place shrimp, squash, pepper, and mushrooms in a mixing bowl. Add tamari, olive oil, sesame oil, garlic and ginger and toss until fully combined.
- Add half the hibachi mixture into the air fryer basket and cook for 8-9 minutes, turning over halfway through the cook time.
- Remove and add the remaining shrimp mixture and cook for another 8-9 minutes.
- Serve air fryer shrimp hibachi as is (low carb) or along with some yum yum sauce.
Notes
- Defrost and drain frozen shrimp thoroughly to prevent extra moisture during cooking.
- Using jumbo shrimp helps maintain texture; smaller shrimp may cook differently.
- Marinate shrimp and vegetables for 30 minutes to 2 hours for deeper flavor if time allows.
- Cut vegetables into uniform sizes to ensure even cooking in the allotted air fryer time.
- Use reduced salt tamari or soy sauce for lower sodium content if desired.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to four days.
- Cooking time may vary with shrimp size; avoid overcooking for best texture.
- The recipe can be doubled or tripled but requires multiple air fryer batches.
