Spicy Blackened Shrimp Stroganoff is a lively dish that mixes smoky, peppery shrimp with a creamy, tangy sauce and a pile of tender noodles. Picture paprika and a hint of cayenne giving it a nice little kick, balanced out by rich dairy and a touch of tang from sour cream or yogurt.
Start by patting the shrimp dry and tossing them with a light coat of oil and your blackening spices.
Preheat your air fryer to 200°C. Arrange the shrimp in a single layer and cook for about 6–8 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through, until they’re opaque and just firm.
Meanwhile, sauté the onion and garlic in a large skillet until fragrant.
If using, add the mushrooms and cook until softened.
Stir in the broth and bring to a simmer, then reduce the heat and whisk in the sour cream or yogurt.
Fold in the cooked shrimp into the sauce to combine and heat briefly.
Serve the shrimp stroganoff over the cooked pasta.
Notes
Tip: You can swap sour cream for crème fraîche for a creamier texture. This dish is flexible, so feel free to substitute proteins or dairy as needed.
