Ingredients

For The Shrimp

  • 1 lb jumbo shrimp peeled & deveined (fresh or frozen, thawed)
  • 2 large eggs beaten well
  • 2/3 cup cornstarch
  • 1 1/2 - 2 cups panko bread crumbs

For The Bang Bang Sauce

  • 1/2 cup mayonnaise
  • 2 tbsp thai chili sauce
  • 2 tsp sriracha sauce
  • thinly sliced green onions for garnish

Instructions

  • Add the beaten eggs, cornstarch, and bread crumbs to three separate bowls.
  • Add the shrimp to the cornstarch, tossing to evenly coat. Shake off excess, then transfer the cornstarch coated shrimp to the beaten eggs. Shake off excess egg, and then transfer them to the bread crumbs. Toss them to coat, pressing in the bread crumbs, if needed.
  • Lightly spray your air fryer basket with non stick spray, then add the breaded shrimp to it in a single layer. Spritz all the shrimp with non stick spray.
  • Air fry for five minutes at 350°, then carefully flip the HOT shrimp over, spray them again, and cook another two more minutes at the same temperature.
  • In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the sauce ingredients until smooth & evenly combined.
  • Add the cooked shrimp the sauce, and toss until evenly combined.
  • Garnish with the green onions, and serve warm!

Notes

  • Don't overcrowd the prep bowls when breading the shrimp. I tend to work with 4-5 at a time to make it more manageable and to make sure everything's evenly coated.
  • Do NOT overcrowd the shrimp in the air fryer. An air fryer works on the principle of super hot air circulating around the cooking food. Overcrowding can result in the shrimp not cooking properly or crisping up to the desired results. You can cook them in more than a single batch, if needed, to prevent this.
  • If you find you have leftovers, you may want to make more sauce before serving them.
