12 oz Broccoli florets, fresh or frozen
1 tbsp Cajun seasoning click for my recipe, or more to taste. See recipe note if you're using a store brought blend.
3 tbsp Garlic Butter click for the recipe
1 tbsp Avocado oil or Olive Oil

If using fresh broccoli: Add the broccoli to the bottom of the cooking pot (no air fryer basket insert needed). Drizzle with avocado oil. Air Fry on 400 for 5 minutes.
If using frozen broccoli: Add the broccoli to the bottom of the cooking pot (no air fryer basket insert needed). Drizzle with avocado oil. Do not air fry just yet.

Add the frozen shrimp to the top of the broccoli. Sprinkle with Cajun seasoning and top it with garlic butter.
Air Fry on 400 degrees for 5 minutes.
Use a mixing spoon to stir the shrimp, butter, broccoli and spices.
Air Fry on 400 degrees for 5-6 more minutes to cook the shrimp.

Shrimp: This recipe is tested with frozen raw large shrimp. Do not thaw them first.
Fresh broccoli: Give it a 5-minute head start before adding the shrimp.
Frozen broccoli: It can cook with the shrimp from the beginning.
Shrimp size: Smaller shrimp may finish sooner.
Seasoning: Cajun blends vary in salt, so taste before adding any extra.
Cooking vessel: A solid-bottom air fryer pot or insert (like an air fryer cake pan accessory) helps keep the garlic butter and sauce with the shrimp and broccoli.
