View Recipe this link opens in a new tab

Crispy air-fried white fish are topped with chipotle coleslaw and served on toasted hoagie rolls. "These turned out great," raves Soup Loving Nicole.

Air Fryer Shrimp "Boil"

View Recipe this link opens in a new tab

"All the flavors you love in a shrimp boil in a fraction of the time and with a lot less mess," says Soup Loving Nicole. "No need to wait for a pot of water to boil just to stand over it making sure it doesn't boil over. Air fryer to the rescue! While this is a less messy version, the way I chose to cut the corn still lets you dig in and get your hands messy for that authentic touch. The cob creates a perfect handle for holding while the kernels face upright for easy access."
