Equipment

  • Air-fryer

Ingredients

  • 10 oz peeled shrimp (30-40 shrimps)
  • 1 cup panko breadcrumbs
  • 1 tsp seasoning salt
  • 2 eggs
  • 2 tsp cooking oil spray (light flavored). Approx. measurement.

Bang Bang Sauce

  • ½ cup mayonnaise
  • ¼ cup sweet chili sauce
  • 1 tbsp sriracha sauce
  • 2 tsp lemon juice

Instructions

  • Start by peeling and deveining the shrimp, leaving the tails on if you like a little extra grip. Pat them dry so the coating sticks better, and then mix the bread crumbs and seasoning salt in one bowl and whisk the eggs in another bowl.
  • Dip the shrimp in the eggs letting any excess drip off and then dredge the shrimp in the breadcrumbs to coat. Continue until all the shrimp are breaded.
  • Once all the shrimp are breaded add the shrimp to the air fryer basket and give them a spray of the cooking oil to coat lightly.
  • Peheat your air fryer to 400°F and air fry the shrimp for 4 minutes. Use tongs to turn the shrimp over and give them another spray. Cook for the remaining 4 minutes or until the shrimp are curled and appear pink.
  • While the shrimp are cooking, add all of the ingredients for the Bang Bang Sauce into a small bowl and mix to combine.
  • Once the shrimp are cooked, add both the shrimp and sauce to a large bowl and toss to coat before serving hot.

Notes

Storage:
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 days and reheat in the air fryer. The shrimp likey will have absorbed the sauce so you can make a smaller batch of the sauce and retoss or dip if you wish.
Notes:
Regular mayonnaise is recommended.
Adjust the heat by increasing or decreasing the sriracha sauce.
