HOW TO MAKE AIR FRYER SHRIMP AND ARTICHOKE PHYLLO TRIANGLES

Pick up some pre-cooked medium-sized shrimp from the seafood department in your local market. If the tails are still on, remove them and then roughly chop the shrimp.

Mix together with the remaining filling ingredients. And then build the phyllo triangles!

Watch us show you how to make these delicious and easy appetizers!

Phyllo dough is usually found in the frozen section of your grocery store, typically near the frozen desserts.

Be sure to let the dough completely thaw before starting the recipe.

EXPERT TIP: These appetizers are so delicious, and you can adapt them to whatever your tastes are. Fresh herbs are always a nice touch, as is a little acid, such as lemon juice, Dijon mustard, a little cheese, and a protein such as shrimp or chicken is wonderful.

HOW TO MAKE THE FILLING

Preparing the filling for Air Fryer Shrimp and Artichoke Phyllo Triangles couldn’t be easier.

Simply add them all to a medium-sized bowl and stir with a fork until well blended.

FOLDING THE PHYLLO TRIANGLES

Creating the phyllo triangles is really easy and actually kind of fun.

Start by taking one sheet (thawed) of the phyllo dough and lay it flat on a clean surface. Brush with melted butter, and add another layer of dough.

Cut the layered dough into 3 strips, length-wise. At the end of each strip, add 1 heaping tablespoon of the shrimp and artichoke mixture.

If you’ve ever folded a flag into a triangle, then this next part will be snap. If you haven’t folded a flag before, we’re going to show you how.

Simply carefully grab the bottom right-hand corner of the phyllo strip near the filling you just added. Fold the corner of the dough over the filling to connect to the other side, forming a triangle.

Keep folding, in the same manner, always forming a triangle as you go. Once you’ve folded all you can, seal the edges with more melted butter.

AIR FRYING IS HEALTHY AND EASY

It’s now time to cook our Air Fryer Shrimp and Artichoke Phyllo Triangles! Our IKICH 6 QT Air Fryer has a large square basket, which can serve food for 2-6 persons at one time.

We add six triangles at a time into the basket.

You can open the basket at any time and check on the triangles. This is awesome because as soon the door opens, the air fryer stops cooking. We move the triangles around at this point for even browning. Then we close the basket and then the cooking resumes with us not even having to re-set the timer!

IKICH utilizes 360° hot air technology and circulates hot air at a high speed from every angle, cooking your favorite dish without losing the nutrition and taste. The air fryer contains upgraded non-stick coating and the material is PFOA-Free. And the basket is dishwasher-safe.

This sleek and gorgeous stainless steel air fryer cooker is equipped with a mirrored touchscreen and is so simple. We simply set the temperature to 370°F and the timer to just 5 minutes!

Notes

We love using our IKICH 6 QT Air Fryer to make this recipe!
Make sure the phyllo dough is completely thawed before starting to prepare the recipe.
See video for exactly how to fold the dough to form the triangle.
Open the basket midway through cooking and gently move the triangles around - this will allow for more even browning and crisping of the dough. 
You can keep the prepared triangles in a low temp oven (220°F) for up to an hour before serving.
These are wonderful by themselves, but also good with Homemade Cocktail Sauce or Kickin' Remoulade Sauce
