Tips:

• For a spicier dish, add a pinch of cayenne pepper to the Creole seasoning.
• If you don’t have dry white wine, you can substitute chicken broth or water.
• To make this dish ahead of time, cook the shrimp and sauce as directed. Let cool completely, then store in separate airtight containers in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. When ready to serve, reheat the shrimp and sauce in the air fryer for 3-5 minutes, or until heated through.

Variations:

• Add 1/4 cup of chopped sun-dried tomatoes to the sauce.
• Use angel hair pasta, linguine, or fettuccine instead of angel hair pasta.
• Top with a sprinkle of chopped fresh basil or oregano.

Enjoy!
