Main Ingredients

16 canned escargot (snails), drained
4 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
2 tablespoons garlic, minced
2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
0.5 cucchiaino salt
0.25 cucchiaino black pepper
0.25 cucchiaino lemon juice
16 small pastry shells or hollowed-out mushroom caps (optional) Optional for serving

In a mixing bowl, combine softened butter, minced garlic, chopped parsley, salt, black pepper, and lemon juice. Mix until well combined.
Place the escargot in a small baking dish or individual pastry shells, if using. Spoon the garlic butter mixture evenly over each escargot.
Preheat the air fryer to 375°F (190°C) for about 5 minutes.
Place the dish or pastry shells in the air fryer basket. Cook for 8 minutes, until the butter is bubbling and the escargot are heated through.
Carefully remove from the air fryer and let cool for a minute before serving.

Serve with crusty bread to soak up the garlic butter. You can substitute mushroom caps for pastry shells for a low-carb option.
