In a bowl, toss the shrimp with 3 tbsp olive oil, minced garlic, white wine, lemon juice, red pepper flakes, salt, and pepper. Add the shrimp in a single layer to the air fryer basket (you may need to cook in batches). Cook at 400°F (200°C) for 5-7 minutes, until pink and opaque.

Finish Cooking
Cook for an additional 1-2 minutes at 400°F (200°C) to lightly warm the zucchini noodles and allow them to absorb some of the sauce. Do not overcook, or they will become mushy.
