Air Fryer Firecracker Shrimp
You won’t want to miss out on this really simple
and delectable recipe for appetisers or snacks—air fryer firecracker shrimp! I don’t mind at all if you refer to this firecracker sauce as “lazy,” because that’s exactly what it is. A fairly close substitute for firecracker sauce is to mix sweet Thai chilli sauce with buffalo wing sauce. Hey, occasionally we all need a little simplicity in our lives, don’t we?
Lightly breaded shrimp that have been air-fried to perfection are combined with a sweet and spicy sauce to create Shrimp Air Fryer Firecracker Shrimp.
Ingredients:
- Half a cup of buffalo wing sauce
- Half a cup of sweet Thai chilli sauce
- One pound of large, peeled and deveined prawns
- Half a cup of kosher salt and pepper
- One egg, cooking spray with olive oil (I used Pam)
- Garnish with cilantro, if desired.
Directions:
- Combine the sweet Thai chilli sauce and buffalo wing sauce in a bowl. Put aside.
- Dry the shrimp by patting it with paper towel.
- Transfer the flour to a small bowl and add kosher salt and pepper to taste. In a another bowl, beat the egg.
- After dipping each prawn in the egg, coat it with flour. Put the prawns in the air fryer basket in a single layer.
- Drizzle the prawns with the cooking spray flavoured with olive oil.
- For 12 minutes, set the air fryer to 390 degrees; shake the basket halfway through.
- Take the prawns out of the basket and combine it with some of the firecracker sauce in a bowl. Garnish with cilantro, if preferred, and serve with the leftover sauce on the side.
