Ingredients

Sauce

Vegetables

  • 8 oz. long pasta
  • 2 teaspoons corn starch
  • 1 large red bell pepper chopped
  • 1 cup chopped broccoli chopped into bite-sized pieces
  • ½ lb. asparagus chopped
  • ½ large white onion chopped
  • 3 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 lb. jumbo shrimp raw
  • 2 tablespoons sesame oil
  • 1 teaspoon sea salt
  • 1 tablespoon fresh grated ginger
  • 1.5 tablespoons tomato paste

Toppings

  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro
  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh green onion
  • 3 teaspoons white sesame seeds

Instructions

  • Prepare the sauce. Add the soy sauce, sriracha, honey, rice vinegar, sesame oil, and ginger to a bowl and whisk. The hoisin will be added later.
  • Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the pasta and cook until al dente. Set aside 1 cup of the pasta water before straining the pasta.
  • Add ½ cup of pasta water to the sauce and whisk. While the past water is still hot, whisk in the corn starch. Set aside.
    A metal whisk rests in a bowl of dark liquid while water is being poured in from a metal pitcher, all on a marble surface.
  • Add the bell pepper, broccoli, asparagus, white onion, garlic, and shrimp to the air fryer basket. Toss the vegetables with the sesame oil, salt, ginger, and tomato paste. Air fry the vegetables and shrimp for 12 minutes at 400ºF, shaking the basket halfway. Depending on the air fryer, you may need to cook the shrimp and vegetables in batches.

  • When the vegetables are done cooking, add the pasta to the air fryer. Pour the sauce over the pasta and toss all of the ingredients together.
    A wooden spoon stirs a mix of pasta, shrimp, vegetables, and herbs in an air fryer basket, with bowls of chopped green onions and herbs nearby.
  • Top with cilantro, green onion, and sesame seeds.

Notes

  • Feel free to mix up the vegetables used.
  • We used a 6 qt. air fryer and had to cook the shrimp and vegetables in 2 batches. If you are using a larger air fryer, one batch will work.
  • We used sesame oil, but you can use avocado oil, too.
