Ingredients
Shrimp breading and seasoning
- 25 shrimp
- 1 egg
- 1 cup milk
- ¾ cup all purpose flour
- ½ cup panko breadcrumbs
- ½ teaspoon red pepper
- ½ teaspoon ground black pepper
- ¼ teaspoon onion powder
- ¼ teaspoon garlic powder

- 1 Tablespoon olive oil to spray
Bang Bang Sauce
- ½ cup mayo
- 4 teaspoons garlic chili sauce
- ½ teaspoon rice vinegar
Instructions
-
-
Clean shrimp thoroughly, then pat dry with paper towels.
-
Add panko bread crumbs, flour, and seasonings to a medium bowl. Mix well.
-
In a small mixing bowl, add egg to the milk and whisk until combined.
-
Dip the shrimp into the flour and panko mixture, the egg mixture, and then back into the flour mixture.
-
Set the coated shrimp on a cooling rack while finishing with the remainder of the shrimp.
-
Once all of the shrimp are coated, place the rack with the breaded shrimp into the refrigerator to chill for 30 minutes.
-
While the shrimp are chilling, make the spicy sauce. Add the mayo, chili garlic sauce, and rice vinegar to a small bowl. Mix well until thoroughly combined.
-
Preheat the air fryer to 400 degrees Fahrenheit (200 degrees Celcius)
-
Place shrimp in a single layer in the air fryer basket and lightly spray with olive oil. Leave room between the shrimp in the basket so the hot air can circulate evenly.
-
Air fry the shrimp for 5 minutes at 400 degrees Fahrenheit (200 degrees Celcius), carefully flip, lightly spray with olive oil, and cook for an additional 3-5 minutes until the shrimp are golden brown with a crispy coating. Cook the shrimp in batches if needed.
-
Carefully remove the shrimp from the air fryer basket and add to a shallow bowl.
-
Take 1⁄4 cup of the spicy sauce and add it to the bowl to coat shrimp. Save the leftover spicy sauce for dipping.
-
Serve immediately.
