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
  • ¼ teaspoon dried basil
  • 1 Tablespoon olive oil to spray

Bang Bang Sauce

  • ½ cup mayo
  • 4 teaspoons garlic chili sauce
  • ½ teaspoon rice vinegar

Method:

  1. After carefully cleaning the shrimp, wipe dry with paper towels.
  2. In a medium bowl, combine flour, spices, and panko bread crumbs. Blend well.
  3. Combine the egg and milk in a small mixing dish and whisk to blend well.
  4. The shrimp are dipped in three different mixtures: flour and panko, egg, then flour again.
  5. Once done, place the coated shrimp on a cooling rack and repeat with the remaining shrimp.
  6. After all of the shrimp have been coated, put the rack of breaded shrimp in the fridge to cool for half an hour.
  7. Prepare the hot sauce while the shrimp are cooling. In a small bowl, combine the rice vinegar, chili garlic sauce, and mayo. Blend until fully blended.
  8. The air fryer should be preheated to 400 degrees Fahrenheit, or 200 degrees Celsius.
  9. Put the shrimp in the air fryer basket in a single layer and give them a quick mist of olive oil. So that the hot air may flow properly, give the shrimp in the basket some space between them.
  10. The shrimp should be air-fried for 5 minutes at 400 degrees Fahrenheit (200 degrees Celsius). After that, they should be gently flipped, lightly sprayed with olive oil, and cooked for a further 3 to 5 minutes, or until they have a crispy coating and are golden brown. If necessary, cook the shrimp in batches.
  11. The shrimp should be carefully taken out of the air fryer basket and placed in a shallow basin.
  12. To coat the shrimp, take 1/4 cup of the hot sauce and add it to the bowl. Keep the remaining hot sauce aside for dipping.
    Serve right away.
