Ingredients

Bang Bang Sauce

  • 1/2 c. mayo
  • 1/2 t. sriracha sauce or any hot sauce (more or less to taste)
  • 1/4 c. sweet chili sauce

Bang Bang Shrimp

  • 1-2 lb. jumbo shrimp, shelled and deveined
  • 1/2 c. buttermilk
  • 3/4 c. cornstarch
  • 1 c. Panko bread crumbs

Instructions

  1. Combine all the sauce ingredients in a small bowl and whisk until well mixed. Set aside.

  2. Prepare the air fryer and preheat to 400F

  3. Apply cooking spray or avocado oil on the air fryer (I use olive oil spray)

  4. Dip one shrimp into the cornstarch, the buttermilk, then into the bread crumbs, making sure the shrimp is full coated in each step. Place on a plate.

  5. Repeat this process until all shrimp are breaded. Make sure to have plenty of buttermilk and bread crumbs on hand, as I always need more than what the recipe calls for.

  6. Place the shrimp into the preheated air fryer. Cook each side for 5-6 minutes or until done. They won't look like they do when they're deep fried, but you can tell when they're done. You may want to fry them in multiple batches to avoid crowding.

  7. Place cooked shrimp on a clean serving plate and drizzle the bang bang sauce on top.

  8. For garnish, you can sprinkle chopped fresh parsley or cilantro on top.
