These babies are the perfect appetizers for entertaining. Or for serving on a special date night at home.
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!
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.
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 a 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!
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 as 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 reset the timer!
You won’t believe how quickly these amazing appetizers cook up!
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!
